Holiday in Spain - the beginning

It may be nearly a month since we left for Spain but I am now going to write a my holiday diary.
We left home around 9ish on Tuesday 11th September, met up with Richard and Lou and Julian at Saxmundham and had an uneventful ride down to Portsmouth, arriving about 3.30.  After boarding we went and found our cabins - tiny spaces with one of those shower pods, but comfortable.
7.30 the next morning and we were sitting at the stern of the ferry watching dolphins leaping and diving really close to the ferry. A great sight.
We docked at Santander at 5 o'clock that evening and spent ages waiting in the bowels of the boat until they let us off at about 6 ish.  Richard and Lou had been waiting at the side of the road for us and were beginning to wonder what had happened.
It rained all the way to our overnight stop at Santillana Del Mar, but at least we managed to find the place in daylight.

Supporting Team GB

We are doing our bit to support Team GB in the 2012 Olympics

A lovely winters day

We had such a nice day today, it's midwinter but the sun was shining.
We went for a stroll along the beach, the first thing that happened was


He really wanted a swim!


He didn't end up going in though (it was a bit chilly)
He fell in love with Crabby


And Buddy had fun in the sand and rock pools





Then we went to the park and for another walk on another beach and along the river and watched a seal frolicking up and down the river.
I love it when the sun is out
