MANILVA.

Thursday 21st.August.

We had to get up at the crack of dawn,6-30am. to take Tim to the airport in Malaga so as we could be sure and beat any traffic jams on the Autovia,as it happens we had no problems and we where back in the house by 9-00am. Tim phoned to say that he was just passing through the customs and later just after lunch he phoned from the beach in Colwyn Bay as he was walking Jasper,the dog, to say that it was very cold and cloudy! We are now settling back into our normal life here in Manilva after the visit of the “ King ” We are already missing him! As I caught up with the e-mails and the blog page we had a nice comment from Penny in Bridnorth who we stayed with at this time last year,thank’s and also a Googlemail from Tim’s sister Jane in Colwyn Bay who we had not spoken to for a little while, so good to hear from you Jane!

Friday 22nd. August.

As usual on a Friday we went over to Estepona to do some shopping and called into the bank at the same time.On the way back we stopped at the garage to check on the Winnebago,it started first time,as we were in the Winnebago three people called in, a Spaniard, a Dutch and a Belgium gentleman to look round and make contact just by chance! In the afternoon we called Tim,who was out but Thea answered the phone so we had a long chat with her and caught up with all the news,it was great to hear Thea’s voice as we had not spoken to her in a long time! We have also sent Jane our dear friend from Chester an e-mail as she has just come back from Mallorca,her 3/4 trip to Spain this year! In the evening we had a light supper of Pan Fried Sea Trout in a Lemon Butter sauce and then caught up with the Olympics on TV.As I am typing this Great Britain has just won another Gold medal in Boxing, so the total is now 19!
