For the first time I'vegot the point of poinsettias - they look lovely when they are planted - will take a photo of the roundabouts next time i'm up there and its not raining- yes, I'm sharing your pain just that I'm sitting watching the sea and its still magical. Shortest day today so from tomorrow we're on the road to Spring - hurrah!Christmas celebrations have started in earnest here- there's been a carol concert in the local hall - all very jolly with guitars, castanets and most people singing the same tune - great fun especially jingle bells in Spanish. Tomorrow there's a band concert in the church, think I'll sit at the back just in case they're not over rehearsed.
Have met a new friend- Dermot , no prizes for guessing nationality - hes lived here for 11 years, very taken with Betsy and has done loads of travelling- walked the camino earlier this year, so lots to talk about. He knows lots of local bars so have had a couple of good evenings out in the tapas bars in Garrucha. He's joining Sherry and I on our trip out to Capa de Gata on Christmas Day so that will be fun. Had Betsy serviced this week as she had a bit of an oil leak so shes raring to go. Have been asked about Kye- hes really well- having a new lease of life as no sign of any arthritis- running and jumping on the beach every day and raring to go - had forgotten just how lively he can be - did his old trick of running off with Jills jacket when she and Jenni came for lunch and had his head in their handbags - all those endearing tricks of his that most of you will have had to contend with!
Think thats all for now - oh, great, the rains stopped so think I'll have lunch on the balcony.
Bye for now, happy holidays
