So, so much to report since 5 March.
David and Eileen Stringer have been a constant support throughout and our love and thanks go to you.
As I mentioned on the Home Page, much of what we were doing was centered on or related to Mum. We visited Warrington twice and enjoyed time with Margaret´s brother Ray and Pam. We also managed to fit in a four day break in London. We stayed in Covent Garden, an area which had passed me by when I was growing up and dossing in Central London. We enjoyed great meals at the Loch Fyne restaurant and the highlight was seeing the musical, Tina Turner Story.
We are blessed with amazing restaurants on the Costa Blanca and we have enjoyed them in the company of David and Eileen, Jenny and Willi, KTF and My Brian. Peter and Anne, Doug and Deidre and Ken and Sylvana.
On the ´we didn´t know that Ray was into the posh stuff ´ front, Margaret and I went to the Altea auditorium to see Madam Butterfly and thoroughly enjoyed it. Over the past few years we have been regular visitors to both Altea and Teulada auditoriums to see operas and ballet, so there!
And no electric guitars, whatever next...
Speaking of guitars, I recently had the opportunity to lock plectrums with Willi. We bashed away and produced passable versions of Knocking On Heavens Door and 500 Miles. Nice.
A few days ago I had a delightful conversation with Jennifer, a lady I last spoke to over 50 years ago. Congratulations on the good news.
I have mixed feelings about the whole social media thing, but being reconnected to friends after many years is a plus.
As I´m writing this I´m listening to a special radio show that I presented on TotalFM on 12 April 2015. So much has happened since then...
On Wednesday I was approached by a news team from a Spanish TV station and asked if I would like to comment on how Brexit was going and the possible effects it could have on expats. I did.
Last but not least. Yesterday, we had afternoon tea with David and Eileen on a beautiful boat moored on top of a mountain near Villalonga. I kid you not...
More next time...
