Reporting from Manilva on the very southern tip of Spain.
We have driven down here in our (un-air conditioned) car.
A drive and a half.
Sile feels she should be awarded the V.C for enduring it.
It started in Cherbourg 11th July and we now have over 2000 miles on the clock.
We are staying with friend (and best man) Michael.

It hasn’t been all driving though.

Highlights have been.

Wonderful campsites in Mayet in the Loire,on top of the Sierra Espuna in Murcia, and in Dilar near Granada.

Great week spent in luxury in a villa in Goudargues in the Ceze valley with the usual suspects (and a great days canoing down the Ceze)

A visit to The Alhambra Palace in Granada.
Words fail me, the photographs will have to do.

There is more to come.
I will blog and put up extensive photographs once I get home.

I am filling up a large foolscap book with a long hand journal and have taken several hundred photographs.
All will be transcribed on return.

We still have a trip to the Languedoc to look forward to,to look at houses.

A visit to friends Isabel and Paul in Annecy.

And we may even manage to stay with brother and sister in law in Normandy
should they be “at home” as we pass by.

Watch this space.

Oh and the title.
This is the greeting all elderly Spanish ladies give each other during this time of heat.
The greeting is properly given with much fluttering of a hand held fan.
