A WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY.

SUNDAY 29^th/ NOVEMBER 2015.

                                                        " MALCOLM & BRENDA'S 44th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY"

We started the day with a nice lie in, well its the 44^th wedding anniversary after all! We then had for our breakfast treat ‘Scrambled ‘Campo’ Eggs on Toast & Smoked Salmon’ with a nice glass of chilled ‘Bucks Fizz’ made with a local Cava. See below.

Start the day as we plan to go on I say; later we are showering and freshening ourselves up, then selecting the trousseau’s  before we head out on our travels down here on the ‘Costa Del Sol’ We are calling into the ‘Estepona Princess’for a nice glass of their ‘House Cava’ on the way across to Puerto Banus to go to the ‘La Sala’ celebrity restaurant for a late Sunday lunch with live music!

Its clear and dry and there is no breeze, as forecast, later it will warm up and the sun will be out as we drive along the coast road by the side of the sparkling Mediterrnean; ‘Reina’ slept in her new duvet across the foot of the bed and is being collected later. She’s back on Tuesday & Thursday as normal and on Tuesday Lee is joining us for supper as Daniela is away in London on business.

Yesterday we watched sport for most of the day and then in the evening we caught ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ In the ‘Davies Cup’ the Murray brothers won in a very exciting match, over in Abu Dhabi at the’Grand Prix’ Rosberg grabbed the pole position in the final second, there are some people over there, who we know, from the English Duquesa Marina ‘crowd’ Then Barcelona won 4-0 with a spectacular goal from Suarez in the early kick off, over in England Everton drew with Bournemouth 3-3 after going into the lead in the 5^th minute of extra time only for Bournemouth to score on the 8^th minute! Manchester city won 3-1. Oh and yes over in Germany the British Boxer Tyson Fury, from Manchester, beat Kiltschko and won three world Heavyweight titles!!!

Watch out for some pictures later as celebrate our 44^th wedding anniversary in style, our wedding was on a Monday, all those years ago, it took place in the Model village of Port Sunlight at the ‘Bridge Inn’ as I was the Resident Assistant Manager, our dear friend Jane’s dad, Bert Horsley, was the Manager that I worked for and learned so much from, he also told me to marry Brenda – in his words “ Don’t miss her”! See the picture below of the hotel.my flat was on the left,first floor, with the large bay windows!

The wedding took place in the'Christ Church' next to the hotel and our best man was Fred Mellor, a born & bread Port Sunlight ‘boy’ He died tragically very young and left our dear friend Carol with their three children, he was buried at the church as was Carol some years later and his eldest daughter Yola was married in the same church – lots of happy memories as well as sad ones over the years.See the church below;
