Not quite Balcon d'Europe

---

Balcon d'Europe is, I think, in Nerja, South of Malaga, in the South of Spain. Yes I was right, a quick google tells me that:

"The Balcony of Europe is the major landmarks of Nerja - a superb, palm-lined promenade that runs along a towering cliff. Views from here are simply stunning.

The Promenade is lined with cafés and restaurants and in the summer is home to a multitude of artists, vendors and street musicians. It was made famous by King Alfonso XII (1857 - 1885) and his statue can be found at the far end"

Well, our balcony cannot quite match that, though it does have very nice views and the eaves shelter you from the wind - except for the prevailing wind. It isn't quite finished yet, but it'll be ace once it's done. Malcolm came back to work on the balcony and the woodshed/verandah and both are now almost finished.

Our very first WWOOFer, Carrie, dropped in last week for a visit with a friend who has just cycled from Land's End to John o'Groats and his family, who I think travelled with Carrie in the camper van. A good night was had by all and, as usual, I missed it.

Willy & Ewan have been busy with doors and skirting - so soon we'll have a full complement of doors with paint and handles, just like a real house.

The weekend was filled with visits to our favourite shops and we bought work tops and bathroom tiles. That's hopefully the last of the major purchases for inside, so we'll be able to visit garden centres instead.. much more fun.

I have a long weekend coming up, so maybe we'll do some tiling then.
