Another leisurely start to the day with our usual breakfast on the terrace before heading off to check the progress on John's new villa project. While John was doing the serious stuff I decided to have a poke around and photograph the various building products and methods of use. Unfortunately I managed to disturb a wasp's nest and the inhabitants were not impressed!!!! I received a number of stings to my right arm before I could beat a hasty retreat!! None to...

This morning woke a bit early to another beautiful start to the day. After breakfast we all set off for a walk along the beach front at Denier La Rotas (about 8 - 10kms) It was good to get out and burn off a few calories, which I for one seem to have been collecting for a while!! Large numbers of people were sunbathing on the rocks, stones and any other surface they could find Faro Carbo lighthouse which is the most easterly point of Spain In the evening we w...

Well slept in until 9.00am today before a leisurely breakfast on the terrace followed by a dip in the pool and a few rays.

Followed by a bit more time in the pool and sunbathing. In the evening we met up with Jim, Tam and 3 of their boys for a family diner at Pedros in the local village of Jesus Pobra we had ...

Well didn't rise until 9.00am this morning for breakfast on the terrace under gathering cloud. We just managed to finish breakfast before the rain came down. After breakfast we went for a tour around the local area and called into the Saturday market in Jalon. I bought myself a new high end designer watch for an exorbitant price of 5€. I could have got one for three Euro but it didn't have a winder that I thought would useful. We then went to the village of Alc...

Well I think we woke up in paradise. The sun is shining, don't have to drive today and have been able to unpack the case. We had breakfast on the terrace with Pat and John before heading into Pedreguer for lunch. We went to a small bar where we had drinks and Tapas. The tapas was so good especially the octopus which had to be the most tender octopus I have ever eaten. Once we finished lunch (4.30pm) we headed home for a siesta and a swim. Hard life but someone ha...
