MANILVA.

Tuesday 14th.October.

Later on Monday evening as the sad news sank in we started to make arrangements to fly over to England for the funeral on Monday.I went on line and managed to get seats on a Monarch flight out of Gibraltar on Friday morning.The flights have only just started again and it so much easier as Gibraltar is only 20 mins. away and Mano is going to drop us off at the border crossing,it’s only one hundred yards to the airport! Also the airport is a one plane at a time arrival and departure so there is no hassle with check in and baggage.We are staying in North Wales with Tim and Thea which is a bonus as we get to see them and the kids and it is near the Wirrall for the funeral on Monday.We are planning to go to Liverpool on Saturday to see the new city centre and to look around the city as it is the European City Of Culture for 2008 and there have been all sorts of new developments,including the new shopping complex!We will catch up with some business on Tuesday and call and see one of Brenda’s sisters at the same time.The flight back is very early on Wednesday morning and Mano will pick us up at the border.This morning we picked up some English Money from the bank and made some arrangements for the weekend.Tonight we are having a Beef Stew with Cabbage for dinner.At lunchtime Carolyn rang to ask us to extend the house sitting at the start of November to 10/12 days so we are calling in tomorrow to sort the date’s out.
