Saturday morning saw us driving up to Villa Tranquila in the early morning sunshine. It's another world up there. Peaceful, quiet and the views are simply amazing but no time to stop and stare for long, there was work to be done. Our young French Gendarmes had left the house tidy and clean as they usually do so the work wasn't arduous and didn't take overlong.
then...back home for lunch.
The new arrivals didn't arrive until very late afternoon. Coming from north of Almeria up in the hills, we had expected them earlier. News was that it was raining when they left home, so they were pleased to see the sun. They brought with them their two small rescue dogs and were celebrating a Birthday sometime this following week. His or hers? We don't yet know.
We have been recently advertising that we are 'Pet Friendly' and trying to encourage more people to bring their Pets on holiday with them.
The UK quarantine laws being relaxed from January next year will make it so much easier to bring Pets across the Channel.
..............................................................
This morning, Sunday, saw the exodus of the two, just retired, French couples who had been enjoying their hols here at Cortijo Azahar for the past two weeks and also the exodus of their sweet little perra who Dobby had been oh so wanting to get to know over the past fortnight and.....
this afternoon, the arrival of part of a very large English family who will all be getting together, here in our pool no doubt, to celebrate the birthday of the matriarch on the 12th of the month. So we are informed.
Life goes on.......
Only two weeks now and we will be away in our campervan en route for England fair England.
Can't wait.
Villa Tranquila and Cortijo Azahar will be shuttered and locked, Layla & Dobby with his squeaky ball packed off and enjoying, we hope, their own holiday vacation at 'Seacrest' and we shall be as free as the birds in the air. For almost three long weeks.
