I am having a great time back in Blighty. Spending the winter here again in a pretty cottage with my new puppy as my spaniel sadly died in September.
There is always so much to do, well, its a holiday after all, so I spend my time doggy walking in woods and parks, lunching in old English pubs, seeing friends and family and generally enjoying life.
Tonight I am off to the local swimming pool OUTSIDE ! Cant quite beleive it but it seemed a good idea at the time I first heard about it when at a local Pilates class.....
There is a real buzz here this winter, feels like the recession is on its way out, good job too. It is the same back home in Javea, obviously not all plain sailing yet but for every bar which closes on the Arenal - a better one opens its doors so that our shiny new promenade is becoming quite upmarket.
Our Mayor is great too, he actually listens to the community and is making great strides in improvements across the board so we are very grateful.
Speaking of grateful, I went to a meditation evening recently which reminded me we all have plenty to be grateful for, it was well attended by a proper mixed bag of people, always makes things more enjoyable I think
My little dog is getting used to being left for a few hours now, she has had such a steep learning curve bless her. Straight from the pound as a rescue dog we are her first real home.
She enjoyed the trip across France (I think...) and I was able to take her our to dinner each evening as France has a welcoming dog policy . Not so in UK, I was asked to remove her from the aiport at Luton !! If you ask me that is Doggist. What did they think she was going to do for goodness sake? I have a good mind to make her a shirt bearing the slogan '' help dog'' and baffling the uniform wearers with science. Good idea do you think?
Bookings are going well for our holiday villas, it is always busy this time of year
