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.
