A VERY ' CRISP' & SUNNY MANILVA ON SATURDAY.


SATURDAY 15th/ DECEMBER 2018.

































We had a nice, long, lie in this morning, well deserved, after another great week down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ – we then freshened up and the ‘ Breakfast Chef’ (Brenda!) then produced her famous ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on Toast, Boiled for her, with mugs of strong Tea to start the day in the right direction.

This morning we have awoken to another beautiful day here in sunny Manilva, the sky is blue, not a cloud in sight, the sun is out and there is, at the moment no breeze, it’s ‘ crisp’ but still warm on the sunny-side of the street, by lunchtime it will be 18/19 degs+ - perfect for the time of the year, tomorrow we are in for more of the same, next week is at the moment looking settled, if a little cooler, with only just the threat of the ‘ wet-stuff’ in the air, hovering in the mid ‘ teens’ for now, staying overnight at 11/12 degs - ‘Christmas Day & Boxing Day’ are going to be dry & sunny, ‘ Fingers Crossed’ Watch this space.
