Gracias y Adios..
And suddenly there it was, our final week in Sanlucar. Out to visit us came Clare Greenwood, fresh from her half marathon in Barcelona, with Andy, as well as Jane Beaton and Jon, revelling in a bit of downtime while David was away on a school ski trip. …

The Last Week or So in Sanlucar
The adventures have continued, out here in mostly-sunny Sanlucar. We've been trying to pack in as much as possible as its now our last week and there's still a lot we'd like to do. …

Day Trip to Gibraltar
Apparently H's dad was based in Gib for a while in his navy days, so he was keen to go and have a look. And as we are less than 2 hours' drive away, we headed off there yesterday for a look. …

Saw Prof yesterday and came out of it feeling better than I expected. He's warned me before Xmas that we needed to decide re an additional course of treatment for me, which of course is about as welcome as a hot poker in the eyeballs.. But, its not as bad as it could be. Or…
