SUNNY MANILVA AND GIBRALTAR TODAY

WEDNESDAY 26th/ JUNE 2013.


We were up bright and early this morning and collected the folks for the final time from their apartment at Manilva Green; we went down the coast past Sotogrande to Gibraltar to drop them off at the border to go across to the new airport, Brenda went with them and saw them checked in for their flight back to Manchester – see the picture below, Jack and Lyn have three more weeks in England before they fly back to Melbourne on the 19th/ July, they are hiring another car and setting off down south. We have really enjoyed having them all here in sunny Manilva and wish them all ‘Good Health and Happiness’ for the future. Just as we arrived in Gibraltar the large liner was docking at the harbor sea terminal as you see below.

The hire car has just been collected so we have been for a long walk around the village to catch up all the works; ‘Plaza Pozo del Rey’ is nearly there, this morning they have taken down the shuttering and so I was able to get some pictures of the progress as you can see above, the steps we think will have a fountain at the top and they have put Marble surrounds on all the planters, the railings have gone up and they are starting to clear and make good around the outside. Just around the corner the ‘Pensionistas Club’ is open and back in business with a new tile sign outside.

We have sorted ourselves out in the house and have got things back to normal; it is going to be very strange and quite around here – we are missing them all – all ready! Tonight we have Cold Turkey with a fry-up of the vegetables and Potatoes for supper and will then catch up with outside world news and then find a film to watch,back to our ‘Tranquil’ life in sunny Manilva!! Tomorrow night we are having for dinner Sausage, Egg and Chips for a change after all the culinary delights that we have had here and out about on the ‘Costa del Sol


Thought for the Day; See above, this one is for Brenda.
