Press Association - Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha on holiday in Portugal

David Cameron and wife, Samantha, begin their summer break with a relaxing beer in a harbour-side caf? in a picturesque Portuguese fishing village.

The couple have once again returned to the Algarve coast - a favoured destination in recent years - for a family holiday in the sun.

They started off with a drink in the pretty village of Alvor - known for its narrow cobbled streets and secluded coves - against an idyllic backdrop of sailing boats bobbing gently in the bay.

Mrs Cameron, who chose a black singlet and a flowing floral skirt for the occasion, appeared in relaxed mood, kicking off her flip-flops.

Her husband wore a navy short-sleeved shirt and shorts and a pair of blue espadrilles.

It is their second break this summer - having already spent a few days away with their three children in the UK.

The Prime Minister, a keen cricket fan, also found time to celebrate England's Ashes victory overAustralia on Twitter.

"Congratulations England on regaining Ashes. Thrilling victory. I'll never forget Botham in 81 & don't think I'll ever forget this either," he posted.

It is the third year in succession that the Camerons have visited the Portuguese coast for their main summer break.

A cafe appears to have been chosen for the annual ritual of the holiday photocall after a series of previous visits to fish markets were widely mocked.

It has been reported that a third break on the Scottish island of Jura, where Mr Cameron's father-in-law Lord Astor has an estate, could be on the cards.

The Prime Minister is reported to be keen to spend time with his family after a gruelling general election campaign in the spring.

Downing Street has, however, stressed that he will continue to run the country while he is away.

Hope the twonk gets food poisoning.
They get more holiday time than school kids, and that's not including the world wide jollies they go on in the name of "Parliamentary Business".
Should be made to spend their holiday time with the families of low paid workers or genuine benefits claimants to see first hand the misery their cuts have caused to ordinary people.

I think David its wrong being on holiday when there is this crisis going on, he has not sorted the daily nightmare chaos of 5,000 immigrants laying siege at channel tunnel with the tax pares money, I hope that half pint will give you some thoughts!!!!!
