After a fun packed week we are returning to our usual routine. As some of you know we have been enjoying the company of Dave and Sarah. They took up the challenge of visiting us and am pleased to say they’ve survived.

After leaving England at “stupid o’clock” (as Dave would say) they arrived around 11 am last wednesday. After a little rest we took them to band practice for a couple of hours! So that was their induction over with…

Thursday was calmer for them, both myself and Mike were out of the flat but we all regrouped for the evening to play a new game – The Settlers of Catan, something that was to be THE memory of our time together. For those of you who don’t know it, it a mix between monopoly and risk and we’ll probably be bringing it over in the summer, so prepare!!

Friday we visited Casares, one of the typical white villages and ate some rustic tapas and after we returned home to play the catan game.

Saturday we went to Ronda and had excellent tapas, the favourite being aubergine deep fried with honey,mmmm, and then returned home to play “catan”

Sunday was church, lunch out and then – you guessed it – catan playing. And monday was their day of departure. So if you’re reading this Dave & Sarah – thanks for the game!
