We stopped and had lunch on the way home from the airport and within five minutes of arriving at the villa Kendal and Regan were in the pool. Mica was content to lie in the sun while Peter, Sue and I went and had a well needed siesta. Mica couldn’t wait to get in the [...]
Wednesday was changeover day. Pam and Bob had a 10.30am flight out of Alicante and our Niece Sue and her three teenage kids were arriving on an incoming flight due in at 10.30am. NO PROBLEMA!
Tuesday Pam very kindly helped me clean through the house and Wednesday morning at 6am Pam and Bob changed the bedding [...]
On Tuesday 21st June we managed to pick up a long screw in a tyre on the Galaxy. Unaware, we got home OK and parked the car in the garage. Peter went out later to the supermarket, unaware that the tyre had deflated. A kind motorist flagged him down and he then had to root [...]
The 2nd week of Pam and Bob’s visit sped by with each day getting hotter and hotter. Lots of time was spent in the pool in an effort to keep cool.
Apart from being coerced by Pam to play Mini Golf one day, when I think I must have lost weight as the sweat oozed out [...]
It’s Fiesta Time – but then when is it not! It is said that you can see a Fiesta every day of the year somewhere in Spain!
The Fiesta of the Moors and Christians has just taken place in Moraira. This is a re-enactment of when the Moors landed in Spain from the sea and then [...]
Over the last 10 days the weather has just got hotter and hotter. Every day now is up in the 30’s and up to 28 in the shade. This will probably stay like this now until well into September. We are not complaining but will be doing as little as possible now for a good [...]
As you know, we were plant sitting for a couple of weeks and are happy to be able to say that they survived! Bob came to collect them on Friday and took them to their proper home.
Our friends, Pam and Bob, arrived early last Wednesday and it really does not seem possible that they have [...]
Just before Pam and Bob arrived, we went and bought some plants and started to plant up Peter’s Back Garden Project.
We also bought some hos and sprinklers to extend the automatic watering system as just the few extra plants was taking 3/4hr to water manually, which is a bind, especially if we have visitors.
Last weekend [...]
Today our good friends, Bob and Linda came. The visit was primarily to bring some of their pot plants to us to care for as they have to go to the UK unexpectedly as Bob has to have some medical check-ups.
They stayed for lunch and we had ‘tapas’, which is a favourite of us all. [...]
Well, a bit of a boring week really.
Peter has got the garden back to it’s usual manicured state and has also been busy pruning dead wood out of plants and tying back climbers. He’s also done his annual job (which he hates) of scrubbing the tiles round the top of the pool above the water [...]
