2011 NEW BEGINNINGS

Christmas Day was very different. We had been to  midnight mass in a very cold little church – a bit “stable” like, and had then set off, early the next day, in brilliant sunshine, with duvets and gifts in the back, heading for Angie and John’s finca We contacted all our families before sitting down to a traditional and very splendid meal. Card games banter and more feasting followed , until we flaked out at midnight Some of us succumbed earlier!

Between christmas and new year Michael and I had our own new beginning, and decided to give each other a little space – literally. Mike found a great apartment with spectacular sea views We now have an apartment in town, and a holiday apartment with views of the mountains and the sea, so we spend time together in both of them, and time doing our own thing. I have now a regular exercise to music group with 15+ participants, and Mike is a web page consultant for a couple of days a week, and is loving it.

So New Years Day saw us in relaxed mood having a paddle in the sea in Albir I liked this photo so much I put it on facebook, and yes the picture says it all.We are looking forward to treating visitors to a 2 location break, sampling the delights of town and resort.

One result is an improvement in my driving abroad. I gave a lift to 3 walkers yesterday to xirles up in the mountains, and regularly take to the local motorway.Tonight we are going to a concert of Argentinian music and tango dancing at the casa cultura in Alfaz. Tomorrow after mass will spend the afternoon with Mike on his suntrap balcony, and then back home to prepare for the next exercise session.
