A WARM AND SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY;

SUNDAY 5^th/ OCTOBER 2014.

After a quick breakfast we got today’s roast on the go; ‘Roast Lemon Chicken’ with a savory mixed Herb Stuffing and my famous finger-licking pan Gravy which I have just made, you could taste it with a broken jaw!

From the vegetable Chef we are having Baby Leeks in a Cream sauce, Crushed Carrots & Baby Turnips, Baby Brussels Sprouts, and Garden Peas and for Brenda Cauliflower florets in a three-cheese sauce. Of course I have not forgotten the ‘Goose Fat’ Roast Potatoes that I’m famous for! See the vegetables below;

NB; Watch out for Roast Leg of Lamb & Roast Rib of Beef  coming soon! See the Roast Chicken below;

Its another glorious day here in sunny Manilva,the sun was out first thing and the day is getting better all the time, no breeze and warm, the forecast for next week is for more of the same and getting a little warmer.

Yesterday we had a nice E-Mail from our old customers and friends Terry & Alma over in Northern France just below Caen; we love receiving surprise messages, post cards etc – Brenda’s two sisters, Norah & Jenny are just leaving for a weeks holiday at a four star hotel in Albufeira Portugal. It’s changed a lot since when we were there back in 1975 when the government was over thrown! It was a tiny fishing village,now its a concrete jungle!! So we are expecting some post cards from them! Keep them coming, we send you one back from sunny Manilva!!

While we getting the roast on the go I was also watching the ‘Grand Prix’ from Japan, Hamilton won after a brilliant pass on the outside around Roseberg,sadly the race was over shadowed by the crash of the young French diver Jules Bianchi who was rushed to hospital unconscious.

NB; Manchester Utd have just beaten Everton 2-1 with De Gea saving a penalty and making 2/3 world class saves for United! Oh dear - 'Big - Bri' will not be a happy 'Bunny'!! 

We are having a nice quiet day at home today as next week we are out an about on the ‘Costa Del Sol’ Monday we are shopping, again in Estepona and on Wednesday I’m at the hospital, then more shopping! Meanwhile here in ‘Doggy World Heaven’ ‘Reina’ is here as normal on Tuesday& Thursday and ‘Scruffy’ is coming on Tuesday lunchtime for the day.

Last night later on I caught a film on the local Spanish Channel that broadcasts from Seville “ Canal Sur ” I pressed the translation button and it started – “ Around the World in 80 Days ” from 1956! With David Niven ‘ Cantinflas’ Shirley MacLaine and Robert Newton!
