A WARM AND SUNNY ESTEPONA & MANILVA ON THURSDAY.


THURSDAY 19th/ APRIL 2018.




































We were up early this morning and after freshening up we set off on our travels, along the coast road, past a sparkling Mediterranean to Estepona, after parking in the underground car-park we had our breakfast of Tostada & Tea/Coffee in the main Bar in the centre of the Town, I then had the ‘ Full-Works’ ( overdue!) in my Barber’s, Manuel, styles & cuts, trims, then washes & shampoos, at the same time giving you a scalp & neck massage, then he cuts, before a dry razor-cut, I feel like a new man!

Brenda meanwhile popped along to the main cosmetics shop for her essentials oils & creams etc, we then met-up and I found a very nice shirt, on the reduced rail, in one of our favourite shops, next we went along to the Hypermarket ‘ Carrefour’ were we bought a rather special bottle of Pink Champagne - ‘Taittinger Rose Brut Reserve ‘- for the visit of some old friends in June.

Finally we stopped at ‘ La Casa’ and found a nice selection of white cooking dishes, reduced, as well as the tea-lights that we needed, before heading back along the coast and up to a very sunny Manilva.


The sun was out early this morning and with a little breeze, the clouds cleared and the sky was bright blue by the time we reached Estepona, it’s the perfect time of the year, hovering on the 19/20 degs+ mark, all the flowers are out in the town( see above) - no holiday makers, making it very pleasant, the rest of the week and over the weekend are still keeping dry, but a little cooler & cloudy, next week the sun returns,  going a little warmer, again, but the threat of the ‘ April Showers’ is still hanging around, watch this space.








This evening for our supper we are having ‘ Grilled Chicken Wings’  served with finally sliced French Green Beans and a Baked Potato, on Friday it’s going to ‘Posh Fish’n Chips’ with Mushy Peas, Saturday is ‘ Steak Night ‘ and on Sunday we will be roasting, still TBC, watch this space.



Later, after supper, we will channel-hop and find something to watch.
