Semana Tres
If only my Spanish had actually improved this holiday! We had a brief flurry of action trying to find a Spanish teacher for each of us, only to fail and then lose the welly to have another crack. People are seemingly waaaaaay less expensive here (15-30 euros an hour) than they are at home, but…

Week 2 en Espana
Time is galloping along here – and it's still bloody lovely in our Chiclana pad. Have had several trips out to the beach, which is a bit busier at the weekend but from Mon-Fri practically all ours. And we're very happy with that! Wishing we had spent a few more euros on our beach brollies…

Our First Week in Spain
Jules & H did the journey down to our rental house in Spain together – thank you Jules – so I could just fly down and appear at Seville Airport as if by magic. Saves me 3.5 days of travel getting the car, the dog, our bikes and lots of our stuff down here via…

A Cheeky Pub Overnighter
Having spent far too much time this week ploughing through my April and May work days for Kantar, writing an inspiration article (I'm not too sure it lived up to its billing..) and a pile of case studies, I managed to knock the work malarkey on the head yesterday to head off for a pub…

The April Social Whirl
Started off with a trip to watch Harlequins, organised for us by Liz T but joined by Andy Booth with Janine, Ross & Tony Franco. Here we are wandering to the match after a pub visit and a drop in to Twickenham Brewery, one of Andy's fave haunts.. …

A busy week while H away (for a change!)
Well, didn't an unusual event happen last Saturday evening? The 'older Scotts' got together for possibly the very first time ever – I know! – while various partners were away, so it was just us four chickens. Me, Rick & Cathy and cousin Adrian. Went for…

One hundred??!!!!
If that's the incredulous answer, then the question that precedes it is 'how old was Ross's mother at the start of April?' And yes – the indomitable Majean, as she is known, finally made it all the way to her big day and hit her century. …

Cornwall & Devon Birthday Trip
Rarely have I been quite relieved to find myself sitting at CCL ready for some chemo! But it has been a wild old month really, having had the 10 day trip to California (and subsequent jet lag) with Janine, then pretty much straight into H's pre-birthday weekend with David & Mandy coming to us, then…

The Impending Big Birthday celebrations
Well, it's been ages in the planning but finally the big day (well, week really) rolled round and the old man is now truly that – an old fella! How I can possibly be married to a 60 year old bloke when I am only 27, is beyond me though… …

The California Whirlwind Tour!
Just spent the last ten days with Janine on our annual girls' trip away – this time heading to the delights of California. And blimey did we pack a lot in – we both agreed it felt like quite a long week (which it was, as it was 10 days!) but also a short one…
