Baking in the sun


Forgive me if the above picture gives the impression that I spend my days idly baking in the sun; far from it. This has been a busy day, saying goodbye to our guests and preparing the accommodation for the next arrivals. Dave and Margaret have been with us this week, for their fifth time! This year they brought with them their Australian friends, Gavin and Angela. As always, the weather has been kind and they have seen much of the beauty the area can offer in May. Evenings have been spent watching the sun disappear behind the mountains. Ella has done more that anyone wanted in terms of entertaining but we all know what a nuisance she can be.

I happened to glance at the visitor's book as I was carrying out my usually inspection of the prepared accommodation; here is what out guests have been kind enough to write:

Dear Robert and William,
Thank you so much for our stay. Our first time in Spain, what a beautiful introduction to a new country for us. We will treasure this week for the rest of our years, remembering the various walks and villages in the surrounding area. The friendly people and beautiful food and fauna have enhanced a memorable week.

Gavin and Angela, Brisbane, Australia.


And from Dave and Margaret themselves:

No wonder people keep coming back.... a little piece of heaven on earth (5th year in a row)


Along with preparing the accommodation the two tall ones have been busy baking bread and preparing a feta cheese and spinach lasagna for our next guests. Tonight we welcome back Jim and Sophie, who are returning here for the third holiday with us, this time with their new baby. I'm not sure I heard them correctly but it seems she is called
Ella!

Yours, from the sun chair, aghast,

Fergus
