Two week visit this year, from 29 July to 13 August. It rained on their first day, but soon cleared up and we were rewarded with a double rainbow.
The children used to spend most of the
holiday in the pool, but with Georgia 15 and Jack 19 they are a little old. Comfortable daytime temperatures of below 30c
meant that the pool was cooler than usual.
We miss the children in the pool, but
it is nice to see Chloe making the most of it.
It seems like last year that Stuart was teaching her how to swim, now
she is like a little mermaid in the water.
Jack cooked the evening meal of
fajitas, which we all enjoyed on the naya.
We celebrated Georgia’s 15th
birthday on 3 August
Michelle had brought her presents and cards to open here, and we had a cake. It was a little hard to cut having been kept in the freezer, and we could not stick the candles in it. But it tasted lovely despite all of that
We walked into Parcent one evening and
took advantage of the play area outside the surgery.
The Wok in Javea has long been a
favourite of Stuart and family, though Jan and I had never been there
Georgia asked to have a meal there for
her birthday
We arrived quite early, so it was not
too crowded
And it was mostly families, which suited us fine
The food was excellent, particularly
the steak
And the birthday girl had a dozen
different dishes
When they were younger the children
loved visiting the font in Parcent, and playing with the running water. They were a little less interested now that
they are all older.
Our second meal was at our old
favourite, The Imperial in Calpe.
It was just as friendly as ever, but I
was surprised that it seemed to be not as busy as usual.
Jack, Georgia and Chloe spent all of
their time on their phones or Ipad, and Chloe spent hours speaking to her
friends in the UK.
