Pictures a promised...

The guests have come and gone and it was a really fun weekend. We even had the added treat of Richard joining us fresh off the plane from oz... how jet set... oz to london to barcelona in the span of a few days!

We ate, shopped, rode bikes and mostly behaved ourselves... what a difference a few years make!

I'm amazed to announce that the villa was quick and painless this year and that london crew are booked in for July 21st-28th. Should be good! Now it's just to see if CDN crew are going to come and if some of that crew will manage to get married while they are here??? I am mostly re-searching the possibility but it looks slim as you can imagine that the bureaucracy here is most definately SLOW.... veremos!

I'm starting up Luke's distance training program soon which will see me mostly strive blindly into the attempt to rock the bikini season in the next month... Sarong anyone? He he he.

Ah yes the pictures and there are lots!


Joey and Monkey- How cute are they?


Stairs! Did I mention the 106 steps (I counted after Richard claimed there were 96 steps up to our flat) I tell you... no need for stair-master in our lives!


Joey and Fredu - Such a cute pic... Joey is as glamourpuss as ever!


Supper at Salamanca on the beach... still not quite summer yet as jackets were required


Me, Richard and Fredu at our front door... can you see the evidence of the ultima de la ultima in the boy's hands? Bless the beer sellers in the street.


Richard, just loving Passetore Pizza lunch on Friday afternoon!
Did I mention the part where girls at the beach bar asked Alfredo if Richard was Mick Hucknall? He did not tell them that he was not... so some poor american girls are living the false dream of having sat next to a music legend... Richard you rock babes!

60th wedding anniversary pics from Canada


My gramps and my cousin named Steel from Devon... rocking the fly suit!

Nope no lifts here... these buildings are hundreds of years old!!!

Monkey is a famous character in the UK he's currently selling PG Tips tea but previously sold ITV with a comedian called johnny vegas. Brilliant! You can win one! http://www.pgtips.co.uk/freemonkey/

My ex collegue's wife who is a CFO and a lady of many talents knitted mine for me just after my dad died. She was an angel for doing it for me... Needless to say he's had lots of love!
