The keys were found at the Apartments post boxes yesterday the 25th June. If you are the owner or know who has lost keys, please contact us on info@amovate.com leaving a contact phone number or e-mail address and we will get back to you.

It was hardly beginners luck!
Anyone who lives on Vale da Telha knows that Digby the Golden Retriever is Top Dog–a real champion.
But now the rest of Portugal knows it after Digby, who belongs to Jan and Ken Cragg, won the cherished “Best in Show” award at the International Algarve Fair held in Lagoa over the weekend.
“I’m very proud of my baby,” beamed Vale da Telha resident Jan, after Digby won a silver Cup and two rosettes.
And so she should be!
Digby. only 11 months old, had never been entered into a show before.
But on this, his first outing, he showed his class and his pedigree by first winning his Group, as Best Male Pedigree Dog.
This gained him entry into Best in Show, against all the other winners from the rest of the groups.
And Digby proved his pedigree, emerging as the Algarve’s Top Dog.
“The judge who spoke to me afterwards couldn’t praise him enough,” said Jan. “She also told me I should
carry on showing him.”
So, even though Digby isn’t exactly “The Biggest Dog In The World” after his movie namesake, he’s certainly making big headlines in this part of the world!
