Lucky you Brendan, to be enjoying fine weather. We've had torrential rain all afternoon; worse than monsoon rains and still pouring! Will you be staying at the marina from now on? Expensive but safe while you're away.
I came here to do my laundry but the machines are switched off because the well is running dry, it's like being at the bungalow. I'll stay a couple of days but there is a storm on the way and that will decide things. At least I've got WiFi and can play Minecraft with Margaux.
Looks lovely there and yes, what blue skies. Pity about the storm coming. You will have to batten down the hatches. Not long more for you, Brendan, til you pick up Margaux. I suppose it´s been the longest that you have both been apart. Has she ever been on the boat? I remember us tying up in Valencia port and a few boats away were a Norwegian or Swedish couple with two very young children. I couldn´t help admiring them for that long sail down to the west coast of Spain in what was a smallish boat ... 40 footer approx. The man did resemble a young viking, blond hair and beard. What an adventure.
Alnwick (silent L, silent W). Impressive castle and town that I had never heard of. Alnwick castle. Home of Harry Hotspur, the famous knight (what? You've never heard of him?) Alnwick castle. Amble marina. Walworth castle in the distance.

ReplyDeleteOops! Valencia is on the east coast of Spain. I never could get my compass directions for West and East right.
