SUNNY AND HOT MANILVA ON VENDIMAIA SUNDAY

SUNDAY 1st/ SEPTEMBER 2013!


After a good lie in this morning I prepared a good old fashioned English fry-up for breakfast! Cumberland Sausages, Smoked Bacon, sauté Potatoes, Griiled Tomato and Chorizo (It slipped in!) and of course ‘Campo’ fried Eggs – with lots of tea and toast! That should set us up for the day ahead!!

No sport watching today so it will be sports updates later, I hope! The ‘Vuelta 2013’ is from Antequera to Valdepenas de Jaen over 165kms with a tough climb up the 'Infamous Wall' in the center of the town, near the finish again.The Spanish rider Daniel Moreno won the stage and at the same time took over the RED jersey'

Where to start ?; Over in England Liverpool beat Manchester Utd. 1-0 with yet another goal from Sturridge, over here Barcelona have just beaten Valencia 2-3 with a hat-trick from Messi at Valencia and earlier Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 3-1 at home.Meanwhile back in England this afternoon Jorge Lorenzo beat the young pretender Marquez riding with a dislocated shoulder with a classic last corner/final lap overtake! Britain's Scott Redding won the Motor 2 race and leads the classification.Back to the US Open Tennis and Nadel,Murray,Federer,Azarenka and Serena Williams all won and are into the next round.

We are now freshening our selves up as we will go and grab a table opposite Bar Rojas for today’s fun;our friend Antonio joined us for the afternoon as we had our 'Paella' lunch,then Gillian came along later and Josie came to the grape crushing to help support me! Two bands at full blast kept the huge crowds happy and the ‘Andalusian Horse’ parade at 5-00pm as you can see in the pictures above they had more horses then ever! Then it was time for the climax of the grape crushing at about 7-00pm !

I shot home and changed and headed off to the new park with my uniform on as you can see in the pictures above with our small step ladder to help me get in and out of the pit ! Thanks to Brenda,Gary,Josie and Valentina for posting all their photos on Facebook! I got a great welcome as I climbed into the new wine press to join Mario and Diego as we crushed the grapes in unison," Izquierda,Derecha,Avanzado & Volver" " Left ,Right, Forwards & Return !!"

Watch this space later for all the pictures !!
