Last week, on an evening when Joan and I were unable to be present, George and Susan were invited round to Pat and Bryan’s for traditional cornbeef hash. Me jealous, not one bit of it, but I did have a couple of little moans about him getting my portion. Pat made amends tonight and we … Continue reading »

The forecast is that the weather is about to change for us. We have had some very warm weather for this time of the year and as I have said before a huge shortage of rain. Some time ago I bought some transparent sealant for the two terraces that now form roofs over the new … Continue reading »

Not much different happened earlier this week, since the last diary note, so this is the first entry of interest. In 2006, Joan and I joined the British Residents Society and they have this annual tradition of offering lunch to new memebers every year. We went with the usual crowd to The Pia Bella hotel … Continue reading »

Last night, Joan and I were invited out to dinner by customers, Brian and Sue Hargreaves.

SIGNALS for ‘European Union’s first serious step for removing the … Continue reading »

Coming in this morning I spotted this brave little sunflower growing in amongst the weeds in the field opposite our front gate and just had to take a picture to show you.

Forgot to mention the arrival of the new suite.It came late Friday afternoon and is really giving the finishing touch to our villa revamp. Joan, of course, sourced it from one of her suppliers and the quality is absolutely super. What a superb day, the temperature went up to 21 degrees during the early afternoon … Continue reading »
