Well guys I’m still here in Spain. Weather great for this time of year, so great it would be a crying shame to waste the opportunity of eating Christmas dinner alfresco.
Because our rented apartment has no oven it was not going to stop us from stuffing our bellies this Christmas day. We decided to buy a cooked chicken and gammon slices for the festive meats. Vegetables included, sprouts, broccoli, mashed carrot without the turnip, that is, because we couldn’t find one in Benidorm anywhere, roast potatoes done crispy in a deep fat frying pan, peas, sweetcorn and gravy.
What could possibly spoil this beautiful day!
I need you to try and imagine the setting. You’re out on the balcony under the warm Spanish sun with not a drop of rain in sight. The round white plastic table has been laid boasting china plates, cutlery polished to the max, red and green napkins, condiments of every sort, crackers to pull, and chocolate gateaux for afters.

I asked you all to imagine the setting which I believe you managed to do, but remember I’m a part of the setting and can’t mask what I see.

This is what!
So, what do I do, I closed my eyes with every feckin bite. Regardless a day I’ll never forget.
