New Year's Day 2012

Not much to say today. Margaret et al. were coming round for lunch. As there was not enough crocery and cutlery in our villa, Joan had to bright idea of using plastic forks and knives, paper plates and plastic glasses. These were Christmas themed.

Lunch was a starter of vegetable pate with crostini, followed by a quince and goat's cheese pie, with Canarian potatoes, mojo (sauces) and french beans. Pudding was a traditional Spanish cake, Roscon de Reyes, followed by a Canarian cheese board.

Margaret was late. Despite showing her the way the day previous - a way which involved one right turn and one left turn - she got lost with Nigel. Steph, with Sam and Lewis on board, did find it though!

It was a sunny, warm day, but with a gusty breeze. Suddenly the plastic glasses and paper plates weren't the best idea. Nigel's juice ended up in his lap as did Kevin's pate. BUt it was all handled with laughter and high spirits.

When the roscon was cut, Joan ended up with the hidden statue of a magi, and so has to cook next year's New Y^ear meal - something that Margearet was particularly gleeful about.

Martin, who had a bit of a cold, turned up later. Some of the party went in the pool, with Kevin threatening to throw Sam in (he didn't).

All in all a pleasant day.









The villa were are staying in is up for sale. If you're interested !
