This week brings the end of our first full week at Pinar San Jose, Zahora and it’s been a lovely week, in it’s own simple way-which is exactly what we were hoping for. Monday brought our first proper taste (this time) of the famed retinto beef, with a lovely one rib, rib of beef. David cooked it perfectly on the BBQ and it had a wonderful depth of flavour. Unfortunately, our … [Read more...] about Another Sherry Perhaps?

Golfing A-Round
And that’s what David has been fortunate enough to be able to do this week- with different sets of friends and on two different courses. This of course makes the carrying of the golfclubs all worthwhile, even if as ever they haven’t performed quite as well as they should have done.

“The Lady in a Van” 6 months on
July 8th 2016, 6 months on and amazed at how the time has flown as I am sure it has for you all. A sign of maturing years so I am told!. We have since April covered many miles or kilometres (I’m still not sure which one to work in and even less now we are non EU- but let’s not bring that one up!) We haven’t due to the very poor spring in Spain followed an absolute … [Read more...] about “The Lady in a Van” 6 months on
