We’re back! Sorry, but we’ve had a very busy month and as a result have not had time to update our BLOG! However, we have every intention of rectifying that this coming week!
My daughter Sophie and her boyfriend Stuart came over for 10 days at the beginning of August, which was nice. Sadly, this is one of the downsides of emigrating is that you don’t get to see your children as often as you would like.
Above is a photograph of Sophie (who will be 20 years old this December) and Stuart taken at the lakes near to Ardales, which we discovered earlier this year. Sophie, who as you can see from her painting of Tower Bridge, is a very talented artist, will be going to Southampton University, based in Winchester later this year, where she will be studying Textiles, Fibres and Design.

Tower Bridge by Sophie HallI had a bit of a close shave when I was driving to the Airport to collect Sophie & Stuart. I was just approaching Monte Corto when I experienced a ‘blow out’ which was a bit scary to say the least, as I was over-taking a car at the time at a fairly high speed. The Discovery lurched to one side and then the other and for a few seconds I had lost control of it completely. To make matters worse, as the car dropped down onto the wheel hub, it broke the steering shaft and coupling, so I wasn’t going anywhere in a hurry.
Sophie and Stuart had to sort themselves out a Taxi from Jerez Airport to Ronda, which cost €150 (ouch) and with a little help from our friend Eduardo from the Arriadh Hotel, the Disco was transported back to the Land Rover Garage in Ronda on the back of a Tow-Truck!! Two days later and a €1,000 lighter the Disco was returned to us fully repaired.
