Roaming Pearly Style
Monday, November 12, 2012

Here comes the gipsy in me again, it seems as though as soon as the weather changes I start getting wunderlust. Cant understand it, Javea is a great place to live yet once again Im off  at first hint of rain! It isnt as though I am going somewhere hot and exotic, oh no, I'm off to England for three months. No good coming back too sooon, if I could afford it I would stay away until just before the first chiringuito is about to open then dash back for all the fun of summer. Work has started on the Arenal esplanade so it will all look bright and shiny in the Spring. I have spent many winters here in the past and it has been fun but nowadays I like to ring the changes and driving through France is always a pleasure, especially going through the Pyrenees or across the Millau bridge.I love  stopping at little B&B's on the way and always meet interesting people to say nothing of enjoying my daughters company as she flies out to accompany me ( a sort of Thelma and Louise without the bad bits) Between the two of us we keep the family cocker spaniel amused on the long journey as it takes us 5 days to get to the cottage I rent in UK. I know lots of people do the same journey in little more than 24 hours but thats not our style. So all in all  I am very excited as its HOLIDAY TIME !!!

Por Fin !

So summer has finally ended, what a great summer it was too. Wall to wall sunshine right up to the end of October when this photo was taken of Moraira beach.  I am so happy to live in such a beautiful area. This year has been a bumper one for villa rentals with lots of European and Scandanavian clients as well as English. I have been making use of Google Translate a lot which is fine and dandy until the cleints are here and need assistance! Still, nothing like an excuse for an impromptu game of charades............Now it is all over I have been taking advantage and spent last weekend with friends in Valencia. Next week I am off to England with my dog, driving through France and collecting my daughter en route for a girly trip. I love spending winter in England, cosy pubs, London,country cottage and long doggy walks, to say nothing of time with friends and family. Whats not to love?
