Another day another dollar and here we are in Fuengirola We left Manchester at 07.45 on Thursday morning and the Monarch flight left spot on time,and made it's way to Malaga airport arriving 15mins early On arrival the weather was absolutely beautiful ,warm ,sunny,and everthing you expect Spain to be.We then made our way to the Gardenia Park Hotel by transfer, a journey of some 20mins,checked our things in and before we knew it I was down in the all inclusive bar sampling the liquid delights that Spain had to offer and all this before lunch too. ... read more

We decided to celebrate our 48th wedding anniversary with a trip to London. It seems many many many years ago and I suppose it is,and I must say we have enjoyed them all However it was decided that I would on this occasion organise a surprise for my other half and take her somewhere So I decided to take her to see some of the sights of London.An absolutely fantastic place to be.At this point may I add that all the streets are not paved with gold but you need gold lined pockets to survive and some things can be quite expensive.We managed to find Wetherspoons not too far away and enjoyed a few drinks in there.Considerably cheaper than the hotel bar The hotel was The Tower Bridge Hotel and we found it an excellent place ... read more

This time a visit to a corn mill dating back to the mid 1700's.Unique in the fact that inside the building there are two water wheels,the first spilling water onto the second.The internal oak beams seemed to be hand carved into arches and took one right back in time to a bygone age.At the rear of the mill is a holding pond for water storage and at one time was well stocked with fish a supply for the local squire. Now all manner of wild life are supported by the water and woodland that surround the mill.

On a fine summer day in August a trip to Jodrell Bank seemed like a good idea it was.Although the place carries a lot of restricted areas the whole experience was quite awe inspiring.First of all the grounds were exeptionally tidy and one was struck by the peace and tranquillity of the place but at the same time one began to wonder what was going on behind the scenes.Is there really something out there,I suppose only time will tell.A walk round the grounds is well worth the visit because at the actual telescope site there is not a lot to see,you cannot go inside the thing.So the only thing to do is to listen to a lecture on a visit to distant stars wearing a pair of 3D glasses,part of it was quite clever but I ... read more

Here we are just arrived in Crete. It's early morning and about to be a scorching day. Left Manchester at 7.30 and it was raining.It's good to see the sun again.Had an excellent journey with Monarch Airways and left on time.The usual things applied to the flight and I suppose we all take the cramped conditions as part and parcel of modern travel.Never the less the in-flight meal was acceptable if not digestable and consisted of sausage,scrambled egg tomato and tea .After some effort that would have done credit to a trained contortionist the meal was dispatched and before we knew it the stewardess was dispensing lots of expensive drinks gifts and perfumes. I of course politely declined all offers We arrived in Crete a little earlier than I anticipated. Today we decided to explore a ... read more
