The Houston Visit
Well the Houstons have been and gone... Petra and the kids head back to the UK, along with Lucy, on an epic drive across mainland Spain. Lucy phoned me this morning to say that they made it to the ferry at Santander, and were setting off shortly! They'll arrive at Plymouth about 8am tomorrow. I've posted some photos of the Houston's visit! Now I've got 10 days to do nothing but relax, swim and sunbathe... then…
Moved Apartments

Good Friday in Alicante
Last night we went into Alicante city to see the Good Friday processions. As you can see from the photograph here, we were slightly alarmed that the Ku Klux Klan were in town... but rest assured they are the Brotherhood (or CofradÃa) and this is their traditional dress. After the street procession, we headed into San Juan de Playa to meet up with Lynsey & Co. for a few drinks at the Harley…
