A BEAUTIFUL ' FRESH' & WARM AND SUNNY MANILVA ON SUNDAY.

SUNDAY 24^th/ MAY 2020. “ STATE OF ALARM – DAY 71 “

After a nice lie in this morning we freshened up and had our regular light breakfast of fresh fruit ( sliced Banana ) toast and tea, to set us up and get going into ‘ Week 11 ‘ of ‘ LOCKDOWN ’ –here in sunny Manilva, down on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’

We have another glorious start to the day, the sun broke through earlier and the sky is clear, cloudless and bright blue, there is a light breeze, making it ‘ Fresh’ at the same time as well as being hot & sunny, by lunchtime it’s forecast to reach 25 degs+ - overnight only down to 18 degs+ - next week is going to be very settled, with lots of sunshine, with just a few patchy clouds at times, the breeze will keep it a little cooler, hovering in the mid 20s, all week, the following week is going to be a lot warmer, for the start of June, going up to the high 20s, watch this space.

Meanwhile over in Everett, Ontario, Canada, Sandra & Bill have managed to go up to ‘ Hope Bay’ – hemmed in by the Niagara Escarpment on both sides of the bay and sandy beach, where they have their large ‘Trailer’ parked up, for a relaxing short weekend break.
