MONDAY
6th/JANUARY 2014
The
pictures above are from last nights ‘Three Kings’ parade along Calle Mar; they
are OK but I’ am working on the settings on the new camera for the night-time
photographs! The village was packed and all the children, as well as some
adults went mad collecting the sweets in plastic bags and up-turned umbrellas!
This
morning we were awoken by the sun coming in through the shutters; as the
morning went on it got even better and by the time we went for our walk with
the dogs down to the ‘Mirador’ it was hot – in fact 25degs!! See the pictures
above. The village is very quiet today as its a bank holiday most of the bars
are closed and the only sign of activity is the children playing in the park
with their toys.
Before we
went out we got things on the go for tonight’s supper with Mano & Anna;
Roast Crown of Turkey with a savory Chestnut and Tarragon stuffing,’ Pigs in
Blankets’ and of course my famous finger licking Gravy. Brenda’s selection of
vegetables is Broccoli & Cauliflower florets in a three Cheese sauce’-
Crushed Carrots & Parsnips, Brussels Sprouts with Smoked Bacon sippits,
Garden Peas and baby New Potatoes and not forgetting the famous ‘Goose Fat’
Roast potatoes! The small ‘Tapas’ selection for starters are Semi-Curado Cheee,Local
Chorizo & Iberian Ham and Smoked Salmon and cream cheese baby tartlets!
When we
came back to the house I shot up to the office to set up the Skype video ready
for my call from Bedwyr the artist from Caenarfon who is behind the project on
the ‘Hotel Seventy Degrees’ – after talking to him for over an hour we are
really excited about the concept and what and how he is doing it! He’s sending
me a list of questions and then we are going to make contact again on the
Skype; there is even talk, depending on funding, of him coming over to
interview me on video! Watch this space. A possible ‘Star’ in the making!!

the Day; See above.
