Sorry not to have blogged
recently but not much has been happening as we have been back in Benidorm since
23 February, just relaxing. We came back
to see my cousin Sandy whose dad, my Uncle Ray, had just had his leg amputated
from mid thigh, he’s 88 years old. We were planning to stay for two weeks and
then move on but my cousin Derry from San Francisco was coming over on 26th
March so we decided to wait until he arrived, it would have been a shame not to
have met up with him. So on the 26th March my cousin Sandy, his wife
Sue and cousin Derry arrived. On the 29th
March Laura arrived to stay with us along with my brother Ian and his wife Ann.
On the 30th Sandy and Sue went home and my cousin Elsie Ann arrived
with her husband David, her son Richard and his wife Debbie and their baby
Edward. Ian and Ann left on the 2nd April and Laura left on the 3rd
with all the others leaving on the 6th. On the 7th we met
up, in Benidorm, for lunch with my nephew Stewart and his girlfriend Maria, who
live in Madrid. It has been so good to have some family around and we have had
a great time with them but it makes you a wee bit homesick. Family having all
deserted us now we are back to visiting Uncle Ray who is making good progress
and adjusting well to his new lifestyle.
We are planning now to leave Benidorm
on the 18th April and visit Joe and Marlene at Gata de Gorgos (where
Blossom was stuck in the arch) and then head up to Andorra, depending on the weather there, or the South of France and on
to Italy. Will keep you posted of where we are next.
Really haven’t done much at all
but enjoy the sunshine, food and drink in Benidorm but we are really looking
forward to being back on the road. Eating out here is so cheap, 4.95€ for three
course Chinese meal plus ½ bottle of wine each, carvery for 4.95€ and so on,
weight is piling on. As the van was
overweight before we left we have spent the day packing away all the items we
no longer require or didn’t need in the first place and will send these back to
the UK, we reckon we have packed at least 50kgs of items.
We have now been in Spain since
the beginning of November but this is where the best of the weather has been.
As we have been in Benidorm so long I decided Kev should get a part time job,
photo to follow hope it makes you laugh, check out the company car.
