IN MEMORY OF YVONNE DUTTON/PEREIRA.
OCTOBER 28TH 1962 – NOVEMBER 8TH 2009.
This morning we had one of the phone calls that you most dread; it started with the words “I have some bad news” and came from Norah, Brenda’s sister just after we had been on the phone to her other sister in England Jenny. She had just had a phone call from Lyn in Australia, the other sister to say that her youngest daughter Yvonne had just passed away. She had been ill for some time and was in a hospice receiving new treatment but sadly lost her fight. We called Jack and Lyn on the Skype phone and were able to speak to Lyn to pass on our thoughts at this very sad time; our love goes to her brother Jeff and her two sisters Deb and Annette also. We are also thinking of her beloved husband Roger and her two sons, Brandon and Geoff together with all the extended family and friends over in Australia.Deb has just posted these words in memory of her sister which sum up all our thoughts at this tragic moment; “Farewell my darling sister, bet you have enormous golden wings, love you and miss you more than words can ever say”
We are thinking of all the family over the very sad loss of a life so young,
Malcolm and Brenda, Norah and Jenny xxxx

COSTA DEL SOL.
Sunday 17th.August.
The forecast for today is 37 degs. as we had a light breakfast on the roof terrace, we new that we were in for a hot day as the sun beat down on us.We went over in the afternoon after our shower’s, which we usually leave until late in the evening,to Elviria and the Beach House restaurant.As we are now regular customer’s we had a warm welcome and had a nice table on the terrace under the shade.After having our Gin@tonic and Bacardi@ coke's Brenda chose for a change a warm Lobster dish with fresh Aspargus,green salad and Hollandaise sauce accompanied with Jersey New potatoes whilst Tim and I had the Roast Rib Eye of Scotch Beef,served rare on a huge Yorkshire pudding resting on creamed Leeks with crisp Roast potatoe’s,Cauliflower and Broccoli florets and baby Carrots.More Roast potatoes and the excellent Jus Roti gravy came along as we ate! The house recommended Rioja Reserva 2000 was to die for as we took in the views on the beach and across to Gibraltar and Africa.Tim and Brenda finished off with the excellent black coffee and two large warm Soberano brandies !! Yet another memorable Sunday lunch at the Beach House.Doug and Chris could not join us for drinks before lunch so we left a birthday card that Brenda had made up and arranged for a birthday surprise tonight for Chis!We then drove back along the coast road and showed Tim the area after San Pedro and down into Estepona where we went along the promenade and into the old town before we passed the new Bull Ring,which had a Bullfight on,and then called into the Marina and Fishing port for a couple of drinks on the terrace over looking the Marina in a bar which we used a lot when we had the scooter and the owner gave us another nice welcome.Mano phoned us from Manilva and asked us to join him for a drink with Anna so we made our way back up to our house and walked round to Bar Castillo,they had Fabio with them as Carlos and Ana Mari where working.Later in the warm balmy evening we walked down to Carlo’s Antique bar to show Tim and also play some pool with Mano and Anna,Tim kept the North Wales team’s end up-a sign of a mis-spent youth! Meanwhile I shot off on the back of a quad bike around the village and through the vine fields and back onto the by-pass thanks to Francisco,Anna Mari’s brother! We ended the evening back at Bar Castillo which was very busy with local families and had some excellent tapas at 11-30pm to end a perfect day!
