Out on the Tiles

The Portuguese have been using tiles for their houses since the 16th century. The ceramic tiles, known as azulejos, adorn the inside and outside of almost every home in Lisbon. They are cool in summer, as they reflect the light, are cheap to produce, have insulative properties for the winter, keep out the damp, and are decorative too!





































Just love the hydrangeas and the peacock - was so happy when I found them:)
