SATURDAY 31st/
AUGUST 2013.
We were
woken this morning to the sound of the “ Chi Chi Pom Charanga ” band going
around the village as you can see in the pictures below; we have just had our breakfast,
Fresh Orange juice with ‘Campo’ scrambled Eggs and Smoked Salmon to set us up
for the day and night ahead!
Big Bri
over in Pori, Finland has just sent us on Facebook a very nice message about
missing the ‘Vendimia’ weekend and also all his friends here in sunny Manilva –
it does not feel the same here in the house in Manilva without the presence of
Brian and Lilli to make it a “Helluva” celebration for the big weekend,
‘Cheers’ to you both we look forward to when you are here again with the ‘Don
& Dona’ of Manilva!! Lots of Love Malcolm and Brenda xxxx
This afternoon
I’ am going to watch live on TVE1the 8TH stage of the “ La Vuelta
2013” as it come down from Jerez to Estepona over 167kms past/under Sabinillas along all
the roads that we know so well! Later I
will update all the sports news as it happens; Football, Motor GP, Tennis etc
Manchester City won 2-0 v Hull and Everton could only manage a 0-0 draw " Big Bri won't be happy!!
It was a fantastic stage along the coast and into Estepona.to finsh up the 1/9 climb of 15kms up to "Alto Penas Blancas" as you can see in the pictures above; the stage was won by another Chech rider Leopold Konig and the RED jersey is now on the shoulders of the Irish rider Nickolas Roche ! But it was spoilt by the TVE1 pro-mo coverage switching to them as it entered the Manilva district and then again as it was passing along the front in Estepona especially !!

village Brass Band along Calle Mar, then they have the ‘Largest Bunch of
Grapes’ competion on the stage before the two bands kick off on both stages
