Extreme ironing

Well, any form of ironing for me is a bit of an extreme, if I am being totally honest. I can feel the pity or maybe even disgust when I see my Spanish compañeras looking at un ironed bedlinen that I think I perfectly ok, they do not share the same opinion, but I love them for it. Their...

A day to Málaga is never complete unless…

Unless you go to Ikea. Oh boy, how sad is that. We had to make the trip to Málaga this morning to take Sarah to start her next adventure (in the UK), which involved dropping her off at the airport. After the hugs and kisses were over, we headed to Ikea which is a stone’s throw away. To be...

Imagine living to 104 and a half

I met someone we know yesterday in the supermarket and I enquired, as I always do, how her husband was and where he was. And I got the feeling from the response that his mother must have died, and she had, in June, and she was 104 and a half…  can you imagine?! The ironic thing was that...

Not being able to sit on the sofa is a bummer

Let me explain what I mean. I have had sciatica for a few years now, and ignored it to start with, belonging to the school of thought that thinks it’ll go away, and after a bit of massage it did improve. Charlotte (who massages me) did tell me then that I really needed to see someone to...

A tale of two streets

I can hardly believe I was in Belfast two weeks ago, it feels like forever ago, and today I’m watching the news following the rescue mission of the Thai boys trapped in a cave for over 2 weeks, and their rescue, well at least 4 of them are out as I write, and thinking how surreal our trip...

I’m goin to a waddin

I can’t swear that that is exactly how it is spelt in Ulster Scots dialect but that’s kind of what it sounds like. I remember when growing up hearing people saying ‘how was the waddin’? It’s wedding of course… And yes, we went to a wedding! The long awaited...

The tale of the telly…

This tale involves two mobile phones, a new television and fate… Our very good friend Jamie who has a house in the village (but lives in the UK) decided he fancied a new TV for when he and the family are here for the month of August, so he duly ordered  a very large new TV courtesy of...

Two coffees and a croissant

Today was that sort of day, only coffee and a croissant would do. The week has been interesting, this reintegration into Bubión life and a semblance of normal routine, got well and truly highjacked by GDPR. And an internet that seemed to lie down and die every afternoon. Monday started with a...

La Vuelta…

A week on from the grand return…and when you’re listening to Bruce Springsteen, you know you’re in trouble! Well I love Bruce Springsteen so it’s not all bad. It has been such a weird week. A mixture of fun and delight to just “be”. To be at home. Not...

Life in a small Spanish Village and our subsequent adventures

After living in Spain for a number of years and travelling a lot within Spain on holiday, we were very fortunate to spend two months travelling from Suances on the north coast to Almunecar on the south coast this year, taking two months to see the landscape. This is our tale and what happened afterwards back in our “normal” life…
