The story of our move to Andalucia .... and our move back to the UK

Tuesday 9 December 2008

The run up to Christmas is getting busy.

I have my first Christmas dinner this week, the ladies group Christmas lunch is on Thursday. We've all bought our 'secret Santa' gifts and we are having a traditional christmas meal, well as traditional as you can get prepared by a Belgian in Spain - I'm really looking forward to it.

Sometime soon we will see the christmas lights turned on in the local villages and in the nearest town, Aguilas - no, the lights are not on yet - it's still too early here. We are going into Aguilas on Friday evening so we will see whether they are on then.

There will be local christmas markets over the next couple of weekends. The ladies group will be having a stall at the market in Pulpi on the 20th December when we have lots of different foods from the countries where the various lady members are from including England, Wales and Scotland along with Belgium and Holland.This is to give the locals a taste of our foods that they don't normaly have such as short bread, english sausages etc. It will be my first trip to the christmas market so I am really looking forward to seeing what it's like.

Next Wednesday there is a carol concert in the Montesol Bar and any funds raised will be donated to a local charity.

And then, on the 21st December - my brother arrives!

Christmas will be here soon.
