Well the winter is over and we've had a few weeks of dry weather at last!
March 3rd we went to Barbate and had to dodge the waves - on the promenade! - spring tides combined with high winds!
March 4th our friends Joe and June gave a BBQ for us all as they were leaving a few days later. We had a great afternoon of sun, good company and fabulous food!
On March 7th we went to Montenmedio to see the horse jumping tournament - it's only a few miles from here and a fantastic place to while away an afternoon.
There was an international horse show on for about 3 weeks - top riders - Olympic champions etc! Free entry, free parking - freedom to wander around the place and watch the jumping and dressage, have coffee or a meal, browse around the (very expensive!!) stalls. What would it have cost in UK and what would security have been like?????
March 11th we had a day out in Jerez with our friends Lynette and Terry - we went to the Royal Equestrian School to see the dancing horses then had a trip around the Tio Pepe Sherry Bodega - very interesting day!
March 17th - St Pat's Day and another excuse for a party! We had sausages, bacon, mash, fried onions and onion gravy - lovely puds too! Irish music, Guiness and a quiz!
19th March we had a day trip to Seville - lovely city which we never tire of! I love the city and Rex loves Flaherty's Irish Bar where he has an Irish breakfast! Say no more!We visited the Bull ring and had a tour around the arena and the museum - very interesting place and fantastic costumes on display!
March 22nd we had a day out in Arcos de la Frontera - very interesting little hill town perched on the edge of a cliff. Very narrow streets in the old town but the car drivers don't seem to notice that!!
Easter Sunday and guess what??? It's PARTY TIME again!!
Our numbers are decreasing as several people have left now - doesn't stop us partying though!
