FRIDAY 9th MARCH 2012.
We have just come home after doing the shopping in Sabinillas in the new car; it is ' Ferrari ' Red - it thinks it is a Ferrari,Brenda wishes that it was a Ferrari and I wish that it went like a Ferrari ! But it is just a ' Ford Fiesta ' !! We found it on Wednesday up by the local Ford garage showing a For Sale sign privately and made contact with Mano's help and the deal was done; it has low mileage,one local lady owner,ITV ( MOT ) up to November,the Road Tax is 34 euros a year and the insurance done through our Bank in Estepona is 23 euros per month ! Mano has helped with all the paper work and we will register the change of ownership next week. Watch out your roving reporter is out and about again - first stop Gibraltar next week !! See the pictures above as we set off on our first trip.

MANILVA FIESTA DE LA VANDIMIA 2008.
A TASTE OF THE FIESTA.
Sunday 7th. September.
As we got up after a lie in from the previous night’s party we had the Full English Breakfast ( with Choriza ) to keep us going for the day ahead! The live music started at noon and went on till midnight with the two band’s playing at the same time or alternatively with recorded music blasting out in between their sets. The cool spray from under the canopy was welcomed by the crowds as it was still very hot in the shade and the senoras had their fans to cool themselves as the day went on.Bar Rojas at the top of our street brought out the largest Paella which went in seconds ! During one dance outside the Town Hall they throw the Manilva Vandimia Hat’s for 2008 into the crowd which causes one helluva scramble as you can see in the pictures below.So this is Manilva during the Vandimia Festival,with many thanks to the Mayor,Antonia Munoz,Paqui Lopez and Ana Ma Ruiz from Manilva TV for making it a day to remember in more ways than one as you will see!!
