It’s usually a good sign when the builders show up on site early in the day. We had to be up early today because we were leaving at half past nine to play tennis The builders arrived on site at twenty past eight. They then sat around talking for a while, it was still quite nippy so they had scarves, hats and big coats on. At quarter to nine we heard ‘the rumble on the camino’ and a cement lorry arrived. Then another rumble and the cement pump arrived (see pictures). In another ten minutes they were filling the pile formers and as we left they were on about their fifth pile fill.
We had a fabulous game of tennis, Mags and Elayne are getting good and Allen is a strong player anyway. Two hours of playing tennis in glorious sunshine and then a lovely coffee nearby, what a good start to the day.
On arrival back at site after a little shopping at Lidl (about half past two) the site was deserted and all the piles were filled to the top including the cardboard tube formers for the veranda pillars. We are told that now we must be patient for a few weeks whilst the concrete cures. That’s going to be quite hard to do but we will try.
After the exhaustion of dancing last night and tennis this morning we are chilling out this afternoon and evening. Malcolm Pinder has just informed me that in West Yorkshire just now you are having a ‘hooligan’ of a wind. We do really sympathize with you and we would certainly NOT like to be in a caravan over there just now. I hesitate to tell you that the ambient today is just over twenty (mid to high twenties in the sun) and the door paint is starting to blister ;-))
We thought that we had another interloper in the caravan last night. When we came back from Lentisco’s at about half past twelve, we had just settled down in bed and Saffy started darting about and generally going a bit silly. We waited to see if anything came out from under the bed, but then he calmed down and we all went to sleep. Just to be sure, we have just hoiked the bed up to have a cautionary look but found no strays or homeless animals. We concluded that Saffy must have slept well whilst we were out last night and just wanted a silly half an hour when we returned, before settling down again for the night. He’s now getting very good at jumping onto us whilst we are asleep (it’s a hell of a shock sometimes) to tell us that it’s daylight and we should really get up and let him and Pippy out for their pre-breakfast stroll.

When I was young (a year or two back) I was far too busy chasing girls and being in the army to go marching for CND or Ban the Bomb, but today Elayne and I were in the very front line of a peaceful protest march through the middle of Albox. We had a police escort and traffic ground to a halt whilst over eight hundred people marched. TV cameras were there from Spain and the UK. We are told that a news clip will be shown on BB1 Manchester
at 7-30pm on 31-1-2007.
There are over two thousand homes in the Almanzora valley that have been built and sold, illegally. Solicitors and Estate agents must have known of the illegality and turned a blind eye to the situation whilst collecting their fees. The developers knew in the first place that the houses that they were building were illegal. The local authority must also have been aware that two thousand homes in the area were being built illegally. Now the poor unfortunate folks from all over the world, not just the UK, who have invested their future here in Spain, face having their houses pulled down because of the corruption and conspiracy at all levels of the house sale marketing in this area.
The march was organized to highlight the situation and to put pressure on the local authority to legalize these houses so that people can relax in the sun, which is what was originally intended. The town traders also stand to lose an awful lot of spending power if these houses are eventually pulled down. The march had a full cross section of nationalities including local Spanish residents. A petition was handed in at the Albox town hall and the Mayor came out to give TV interviews.
I could do with standing on a soap box at Hyde Park Corner like The Reverend Donald Soaper used to do (do you remember him?).
We have builders on site again today putting height extensions on the vertical formers. I think one of them indicated that we will be getting the concrete to fill the formers tomorrow at ten o’clock (we will be playing tennis so we’ll leave them to get on with it).

We found some of these beesties this morning on pine trees just outside Taberno (but not near us). We have read about them before.

Caterpillars (Processional Pine Caterpillars)
Pine Caterpillars (Latin name thaumetopoea pityocampa) are probably one of the most unpleasant creatures you will find in Spain, certainly in areas where pine trees grow in abundance. They are found throughout the warmer regions of Southern Europe, the Near East and North Africa. As well as causing much damage to pine forests, they are a major danger to animals and, to a lesser degree, human beings.
Do not touch them. Warn your children that they are not like the friendly English caterpillars. The very fine hairs on these creatures are poisonous and most dangerous. They can be seen living in silk cocoon style nests hanging in the pine trees to which they are most harmful, stripping them of their pine needles. When hungry, they leave their cocoon to seek another uninfested tree on which to feed. They travel nose to tail in a line, hence the name Processional. They are most noticeable from January to mid April and are at their most dangerous in mid/late February. The caterpillars are often seen in the evenings, walking in procession from tree to tree.
If they drop onto you or your pet, don't brush them off with your hands because the effect is most unpleasant, causing great irritation, rash and pain. Dogs, cats and people can suffer from shock. The hairs of the caterpillars are still virulent even when the creatures are dead. Do not hit them with sticks because hairs flying in the air are just as dangerous. Burn them, but be careful of floating hairs. If the caterpillars are in the tree cocoon state, first spray the nest with hair spray (to seal down the hairs), cover the cocoon and the affected part of the branch with a plastic bag, cut down the branch, place it on clear ground and burn it.
If the caterpillars are on the ground marching, it is better first to spray them with lighter fuel and then set them alight. This reduces the risk of flying hairs.Take care to only do this where you cannot inadvertently start a forest fire because during the summer months the undergrowth and trees are very dry.
If you live near pine trees, it is recommended that you keep Anti Histamine tablets handy as an early treatment. In particular, avoid ingesting the hairs. Dogs are most at risk by sniffing the ground where the caterpillars have marched.
Take particular care with your eyes. If affected the result is serious, causing pain and swelling similar to a bad case of conjunctivitis.
Treatment: If a person or animal shows signs of shock, get them to a doctor, hospital or vet immediately.
If you have children and are considering buying property, take the above details into consideration.
Golfing. When these caterpillars march across golf courses, play ceases immediately because it is too hazardous to try to clear them away.

The good weather has returned after a cold night. By eleven we are taking jumpers and jackets off down to ‘t’ shirts and short sleeves. It’s now twenty five to five and in the sun it is still warm but in the shade it is cooling off again fast. We did our shopping in Albox today, market day. The fruit market in the back street of Albox sells the most amazing variety of vegetables and fruit. You get cabbages that are nearly 350mm in diameter, and they are all odd shapes and sizes that a supermarket wouldn’t touch with a barge pole, but they are very fresh from the fields. We buy half kg bags of walnuts that are a delight to eat and only cost a couple of euros per bag.
There are three builders on site today, they are straightening up all the vertical pile formers before, one presumes, they pour concrete into them. They have also placed the round supports for the two porches . The formers for these are made from special cardboard tubes with quick release paper on the inside so that when the pillar is dry they can peel the tubes away.

BTW we now have at least fifteen almond trees coming into blossom, the picture is the advance party almond tree blossom. They are very beautiful against the blue sky.

We had a cloudy and cold (6 degrees) start this morning. It must be the first cloudy start to the day for about five to six weeks.
We got ready and drove down to Mojacar, to organize some more building funds. The Mojacar Playa (beach front) is great at this time of year with few cars and people compared to high season when you can only drive at 10km/hr because of the density of traffic. However we were surprised that there were quite a lot of mobile homes on the beach front areas.
It takes us half an hour to get down to the motorway from home and then another half an hour (at 120km/hr) to get to Mojacar. As we were driving back up the motorway we hit a section where we could see a clear 2km of road in front of us. There was not a single vehicle of any type on this section of motorway, either in front of us or behind us, until we were about three quarters of the way along this section and then I saw a white van about 1.5km behind us. We were making the comparison between this motorway, which is the main E7 Med motorway from Gibraltar up and through France to Italy, to the good old M62, at any time of day or night. I remember well all the white knuckle drives I’ve done on that road and it makes me shudder to think of the near misses I‘ve had on it.
There are more and more almond trees that have gone into blossoms. I’ll get some more pictures in a few days time.
No builders on the horizon today, maybe it’s another fiesta day that they have forgotten to tell us about.

Today is the very first day, since we have been in the caravan, that we have found another occupant living with us. We had noticed that the cats scratted about, on the carpet in the bedroom near the wardrobe, sometimes. Today I spotted a lizard out of the corner of my eye as it scuttled away between the wardrobe and the chest of drawers. We gave chase by looking under the wardrobe with a torch but he then fled around and up the back of the chest of drawers. We took out the bottom drawer of the chest but the damned thing had a back on it. So we removed all the detritus from the area and gently pulled out the chest of drawers. Elayne was standing by with a handkerchief to throw over it, but in the end she caught it with her bare hands (such bravery for someone who screams at poor little spiders. I was impressed). This poor little critter had lost part of it’s tail somewhere, maybe by the cats, so Elayne took it down into the almonds and let it go. We are not sure how long it must have been with us or how long it could have survived. Last night we went up to the Saliente Monastery for dinner. We had planned to do this some time back so we booked up and off we went. The leaflet that we saw said that the restaurant had flamenco on every Saturday night. The impression was that there were flamenco dancers etc. What there was, was a young man playing flamenco music on an acoustic guitar. He was actually very good and it created a nice atmosphere even though the place was not crowded. The food was very good and we enjoyed a three course meal with trimmings and drinks for just less than 25 euros each. The food presentation was good served on some very nice and unusual crockery. The place was gloriously illuminated, you could see it for twenty minutes before we actually arrived. Thank you to our Whiteley friends in the UK for this meal, and the previous ones as well, you have done us very proud. See pictures of the intruder and Saliente.

I have been complaining for some time that my computer seat is knackered and it makes my hip quite painful if I use it for a long period during the day or evening. The team at Whiteley will remember the enormous hassle I went through there to get Whiteley to buy me a new seat (all of 80 pounds worth). They just would not believe that one could wear out the seat padding without it looking all tatty. I had to threaten H&S at Work before they bought me another seat. I reckon that if I spent only half my day sitting down at the computer and my desk, then in one year I would have been sitting on the seat for over 4200 hours.
Anyway back to this spooky tail, so to speak. I eventually got fed up with this chair and turfed it out of the computer room, but where was I to put it? Elayne, who actually said that we were daft to bring it from the UK in the first place, and reminded me of it, several times, said put it in the portacabin. I said why, we may as well dump it, and then it doesn’t take up precious space in the cabin and eventually we could buy a new one when we saw one. So this morning I maneuvered the chair out of the caravan, it fell to bits several times before I got it outside, and loaded it into the car. We were on our way to Huercal Overa anyway so we could put it by the bins in Taberno on the way through. We knew that within minutes of tipping it, it would be claimed from beside the bins because it still looked quite good. When we got down to the bins in Taberno, I opened the boot and looked again at the chair and thought that it was still far too good just to dump. I said to Elayne that if we could find some foam padding we could have a go at taking the upholstery off the seat and re-filling it. We have done this to good effect in the past and it was good fun to do. So we didn’t ditch the chair, it stayed in the car with us whilst we went shopping to HO and Lidl.
Like Netto in the UK, Lidl have an isle of baskets down the centre of the store that they sometimes sell really useful household items from. One has to be there just at the right time to get the useful items before they go like hot cakes. As we walked in this morning and in the very first basket were special computer chair cushions. So we bought two. They are made of a patterned cover with a zipper to replace the foam or wash the cover, and they are angled towards the front of the seat. They only cost 5.99 euros each. How’s that for good timing?
We returned to base via tapas and a pint at Lentisco’s and sat outside on the veranda in the glorious sunshine and we were very warm, what a delight it is to do that.
No more work at site today although we are told that the concrete for the pillars is coming Monday, but we don’t believe that now do we????

Funny old day.
Yesterday we had a phone call from a freight firm, checking the address etc, wanting to deliver a 3kg parcel to us. We agreed that when the driver left the motorway, today, from Alicante, he would phone us (not sure why as they had the full Lighthouse Properties address). The only parcel that we can think that it could be was, our very long over due, gas valve for the central heating boiler in the caravan, which we bought (at considerable expense) from a guy in the UK in November over the internet. I have berated this chap quite a bit since November because the part that we paid for did not arrive. Feeling just a little contrite, for all the berating I had given this bloke, today we expected to see the gas valve at last.
The parcel arrived at Lths Props and our friend Pam kindly signed for the parcel whilst we were in Albox and ’twar department’ is having her hair done.
When we called back in to Taberno, and saw Pam, the parcel had already arrived and we eagerly started to think about calling the plumber (Carlos) to install the valve so that we could have our central heating, and more importantly, a hot shower. As we were driving back to the caravan Elayne told me the sad horrible truth about the parcel. It was a Christmas Hamper!!!!!!
Another story. In early December, we decided to buy Steve, Debs, Ivan, Ollie and Nick & Ags Christmas food hampers, on line from Last Minute.com. Elayne did the computer deed and paid by debit card. Whilst she was doing the first hamper order the wording of the form became a little ambiguous and it asked for the billing address, for which she put down us out here. Later we discovered that in fact she had ordered a hamper for us instead of for Steve and Nick. We thought that we had cancelled this one and continued to order for Steve and Nick. In any rate the clots at the other end would spot the mistake because it clearly said that the hampers could not be sent outside the UK. We even sent emails to last minute explaining the error and received emails back saying that they would try to cancel the item with the supplier, (I feel that you can see where this is leading too, can’t you?). Just a few days back I checked my bank account on line and the payment for the cancelled hamper had been made but no credit had been received. I again contacted last minute by email but did not have a reply.
So putting this all together. We now have an expensive UK food hamper here in Spain on the 12-1-2007.
How about that for looking forward to a real hot glorious shower and only getting a small cold Christmas pudding?
We are now going to celebrate with a post Christmas pig-out meal on Sunday and scoff the blooming lot.
Right back to the matter in hand, just look at today’s pictures. We all of a sudden have some height to the build, but, it is going to spoil our view. A true dichotomy.

Wednesday 10-1-2006(& Thursday)
We still have builders working on the steels again today, it’s obviously a bigger job than we anticipated. Until the steels are all level and straight I suppose it’s a waste of time calling the architect up to inspect it all. Then until the architect has passed it all as OK then I would imagine they can’t call up and order the concrete.
Allen, Elayne and I played tennis at ten o’clock this morning, we started an hour earlier because it gives better definition to the day, we can be finished by twelve and then have a chill out before the dance lessons (we are getting quite good at the tango) and then another music night at Lentisco’s.
Just listen to this then. On Monday we had our first Almond tree in blossom, now there’s quite a few out. Today the staff at the sports centre were out cleaning the leaves off the surrounding lawns and they had the grass cutter running up and down near us (already and it’s only the 10th of January). It sounded just like being at Whiteley again. I didn’t actually notice the noise until Allen mentioned it. Also you can presentably see the evenings drawing out a little. Last night there was still light in the west sky until ten to seven. I know that one swallow does not make a summer but there seems to be light at the end of this very, so far short, tunnel J J J . Now we have said that it will probably be a ferocious February :-(
We have just talked with the architect and he has passed the foundation steels as being OK and in accordance to the plans. Next step is getting the message back to the builder so that they can get the concrete booked, (manana).
Well would you ‘Adam & Eve’ it. It’s quarter past four and two concrete lorries have just turned up and are tipping enormous amounts of concrete into the foundations.
Later about six: It’s nearly dark now, we are getting ready to go out. The same two concrete lorries have both been back to base, refilled and are back here pouring more concrete. I had sort of a conversation with the builder that indicated that five lorry loads were needed to complete the job and they will complete tipping tonight.
We got down to the hostel at seven, leaving two poor guys sitting in the dark on site waiting for the final lorry load of concrete to return. We found that our dancing is cancelled due to Fernando (see why we’re doing the tango) being too ill to take us. So we return to the caravan for an hour or so until it’s time to go to Lentisco’s at half past eight. On return to site we find three guys working by car headlights. They finish and drive off. I walked up to the site but they must have called off the final lorry because of the dark. Hey, what good progress in just one day.
Picture: One picture shows the very first concrete being poured into our foundations at about half past four.
Thursday 11-1-2006
We have been without Internet access for over twenty four hours now. It’s very frustrating and annoying. We have had to go down to Mojacar today just to complete and sign some forms that were going to be sent to us by email. Had we been on line we could have printed the forms, signed them and then scanned them back to the originator. This is what happens from time to time here, the internet signal weakens and we go on and off line for an indeterminate periods of time.
On the bright side, today is another glorious day and the builders have put down the two final lorry loads of concrete, for the foundations. We now have about forty five cubic meters (45 tones) of concrete foundations, that should hold the blooming house down in the wind. They are promising to return ‘manana’ to put in the upright steels, it’s that stretchy word manana again, we shall see. Progress at a gallop.
More and more almond trees are in bloom. We have a tree with pink blossoms and one with white blossoms. They really look glorious against the lovely blue sky.

Another splendid day today after a peaceful night, without wind.
We had builders on site at 08-15hrs this morning. They have to finish off the re-enforcement mesh and then straighten everything out and level it all up in accordance to the plan and in readiness for the architect’s inspection.
We are told that Chema (the architect) will be coming up to site to do this inspection at 16-00hrs today, well we think that it will be today, perhaps, maybe?
Again we are told that if the architect inspection is OK, they will have the concrete up on site tomorrow.
It’s now 15-50hrs and Elayne and I have just returned from shopping in Albox (and having a glorious lunchtime drink and ensalada on the sunny warm terrace at Lentisco’s. It’s a tough life over here, not all beer and skittles, but nearly all!!!
To be fair there has been three lads on site all day working very hard straightening out and leveling the steels. If they could only get another thirty days non stop work they could finish the house altogether. They however do have to leave things to settle and dry at each stage of the construction, so perhaps we revert back to plan ‘A’ again, four to five months.
At six o’clock, when they knock off tonight I will go to ‘my pet’ rock and take more pictures of the progress. This rock is an enormous piece of permanent rock at the back of the site (top). I am going to stand on the rock every day and take a picture so that after the build we can see a sort of time lapse video of the whole build from start to finish in two minutes.
Pictures: Seventeen foot man in the sunset last night. Surise over the mountains this morning at quarter past eight.

Post “puter crash and re-install Windows, formatting ‘C’ Drive. At first trauma and anguish about what has been lost, some items after 20-12-2006 were not backed up, but gradual dawning that we have had a forcible ‘C’ drive spring clean which has got rid of loads of programs that we don’t actually use but are nice to have. Also there were a few gremlins in the system that I worked around for so long that it became the norm (Brian Richerby must be laughing his socks off if he is reading this). I had so many ‘blue screens’ yesterday that in the end I couldn’t get anything other than a blank screen with a curser winking in the top left hand corner. Urgent calls to the family technical department in Essex and we decided that the system was too corrupt to repair itself so we decided that a complete re-install was the only answer.
Hey, did you see our almond tree in flower? Isn’t that amazing for the 7th January? Last night however, we had another quite windy night with the van walls flexing and banging a bit. We both laid awake for some time wondering if it was going to get any worse. It didn’t and suddenly it was sunrise and all is now back to normal i.e.,. Sunny, warm and very spring like.
We have had people working on site since just after nine this morning. They are putting the steels into the trenches and locking them all together. Elayne and I walked up whilst they were having their siesta and the steel re-enforcement frames are very big and heavy, they won’t rock and roll in the wind like the caravan. See pictures.

Oooops. Major 'puter crash, big time. Blue screens all over the place. Having to rebuild Windows, and all the programs that I use on a regular basis, all over again. We have lost a lot of pictures etc, etc.We have the steel work on site at last. T
Also today we have our very first almond tree in flower, great joy.

We ended up gathering about forty kg of olives and we now proudly own about five and a half litres of un-purified, cloudy, olive oil (oliva acetia) . This should last us until this time next year, don’t you think? I tasted it tonight and would you believe? it tastes like real olive oil. Paco seemed happy with us taking the olives to him and it saved us a trip all the way to Albox and a lot of waiting around whilst several farmers and smallholders had their trailer loads registered and weighed.
We have been down to Heurcal Overa today to do some shopping. Everything will be shut tomorrow because it‘s 6th January, Three Kings Day. If one was being a little cynical one could say that the Spanish have managed to make the Christmas break last over three weekends as apposed to the rest of Europe having two weekends. Elayne and I are meeting up with Mags, Allen and their eighteen month old Grandson tonight in Taberno to watch the Three Kings Eve procession through the village. There should be a float with the three kings on it and they tour the village throwing sweets out to the children in the crowd, well we think that that is what happens. Watching this will be another first for us so we are looking forward to it. Pictures and further news tomorrow.
On the building front, after further enquiries, it transpires that some of the steel frames required for the foundations have to be made and they are not all made just yet. The builder will get them as soon as possible but he’s not fully sure that this will be this week. I know that I’m a gullible old fool but we can only accept the builders’ explanation or call him a liar, perhaps not a good plan at the start of a project. Stick with rear guard revenge as per my plan yesterday.
Another glorious day today, we had a little wind over night but not enough for us to be too concerned about it.
Pictures: A shop in HV selling fiesta dresses for tonight and tomorrow. A very attractive roof decoration on a house in the town centre of HV.

We went to Albox this morning and got the car washed, it’s amazing how dusty it is just now as we haven’t had any rain for ages. We pigged out on a FEB and then went into Albox old town to the bank and to do some shopping. Whilst there we parked the car down in the rambla, just like everyone else does. We parked towards the centre of the rambla and not near the road bridge that crosses it. When we were walking back to the car and as we were going down some steps into the rambla bottom, we noticed three blokes, obviously Spanish council workers by their attitude to what they were doing. They were whitewashing the rambla walls and the stone on the bridge legs with a huge lance that had a spray spread of about 25cm. It was driven from a van pump, and the guy with the lance was spraying away with a determined vengeance and total disregard to the fact that when he was spraying the top edge of the rambla wall, most of the paint was going over the top of the wall and down onto the vegetation and cars that were below on the other side of the wall. As soon as I saw what was going on we rushed back to the car. Fortunately we were so far from the sides of the rambla and the bridge legs that our car was OK. I bet there was a whole lot of angry car owners wondering what the hell had happened to their cars when they returned to them.
As you may guess we have not seen sight nor sound of any builders today.
Pictures: Taberno from the Albox road and from the hill above the village, looking down towards Heurcal Overa and the Med.

Well what an up and down sort of day.
On the building front I’ve seen more movement at a Buddhists Temple than I’ve seen up here today. No steels. No concrete. This morning we did have a lorry arrive that collected a load more shuttering planks. The lorry departed and left one young lad and a shovel to dig out the missing trench. The ground that he was to dig is bedrock for heavens sake.
We left to play tennis around eleven. We collected Allen on the way down to Heurcal Overa so we had a threesome (with Elayne). When we arrived at the sports centre, guess what, it was closed. No notice on the doors about why it was shut. All other businesses went back to work yesterday. We hung around for a little while but to no avail. We went back to Mags and Allen’s house and the weather was so very warm that we had a cup of tea and then we got their table tennis table outside and played several games. Allen of course is very good and walloped me over and over again, however we did have a good laugh and got quite hot whilst we played. Elayne and Mags had a game and then we played boules whilst we had a nice cool drink. It must have been in the mid twenties, which is not too bad for the third of January. Look at some of the super features that Allen and Mags have built around there house including the beautifull, stylish walls and the fabulous jaccuzi and swimming pool, they are both very clever and it's a lovely house inside as well as outside.
We returned to site about three o’clock and found that the trench was indeed dug and finished and the site deserted once more. This wonderful country could be so very rich and prosperous if only it could achieve a higher level of efficiency and had a tax/VAT system that actually worked.
Hey ho. We are told that ‘it may all happen tomorrow’, when ever that is, and of course we believe that don’t we??????

On our rough land we have loads of wild thyme bushes. Every time we go out across the land we brush against this and get a beautiful whiff of thyme. When the cats go out and come back again generally they will have rubbed against a thyme bush or two and they also smell of thyme. Even when the wind gently blows it is scented with thyme. One stops noticing it after a while but then all of a sudden it hits you and it’s really nice.
Overnight we had just a little wind (so we took something for it) but the barometer is settled at 1035mb and the general forecast for the next few days is ‘more of the same’. There is an ambient temperature of 16 degrees, but again in the sun it is about 23.
Elayne is outside cleaning the inside of the car and I have hovered the inside of the caravan, it must be early spring in the air.
So far today on site we have had a wagon (builder type) bringing a load of shuttering planks up and then taking some scaffolding away with them. No JCB or steels in sight.
I can't believe that they can order a cement lorry to come to site and then cancel it. I can believe that they can divert said concrete lorry to somewhere else though. It’s now 17.42 so it seems to be a lost cause today.
Well we're playing tennis tomorrow morning so sod 'em, were not available if they want us.
Picture: The full moon rising in the setting sunshine at 17.49hrs today.

Happy New Year to you all, where ever you are.
O! boy what a night. We partied with the Brits and Spanish to a Spanish two piece disco type music group until 03.30 this morning (we left early because the volume was getting too much, and we were knackered). I did manage to eat my twelve grapes on each chime of twelve o’clock (Madrid time) so that should set us up for 2007.
We crawled out of bed just after ten this morning, feeling just a little jaded.
Today was always going to be a chill out day but we have also talked to loads of family and friends which has made it a really special day.
We will see what developments actually happen tomorrow with concern to the house foundations.
The pictures are of the festivities last night. The eyes and the legs say it all, your identity is safe with me Anne ;-)))
