A treat for Tanya and musn't forget the girls...

As you can see Tanya and Colin get on famously - they pull each others legs and are totally mad to be around...This is the second fortnight Tanya has spent with us in six weeks and apart from our house, the shop and the local beach we haven't been anywhere and so with Inga (and Dayana) looking after the shop Colin, Tanya and I drove down to Calpe, a small town a few miles south of here for a look around and a fish lunch for which Calpe is famous.
As I am seriously allergic to fish and seafood Colin rarely has the option of sharing a sumptuous fish meal and Tanya loves fish - here she is sucking the lobster juice off her thumb...
They had previously eaten - hm!!! no!!! pulled apart, sucked and dribbled their way through!!! - a platter full of enormous langoustines...
I realised halfway through that I should have taken a photo of the rice, lobster and squid dish...
you should have seen the mess the pair of them got into - ... We then drove down the coast to Alfaz del Pi where we had coffees and where they had these cute pedaloes...On Wednesday evening the lovely Becky brought in her fashion journal to show me. She totally embraced journalling when we did it earlier in the year and so I decided to show off some of her beautiful pages - there were also spots and dots, black and white and stripey madness but I had to choose and so here they are...bring on the fashion! keeping an eye on the time goody two shoes On Wednesday evening the older girls made star books - Maria, Iciar, Lucia, Cristina, Alice and Becky, Berta, Beatrix and Mar...Dayana had made her star book at Monday's class and she comes on Wednesdays with her Mum Inga who helps me with the classes and so I let her loose with some cardstock and dies...what a lovely scrapbook page you've made Dayana...
On Monday night the youngsters also made star books and here's Sienna with hers... Anastasia and Lucia... Lauren, Daniella and little Zoe...and here's the rest of the gang from Monday - Remy, Maddie, Megan, Dayana, Sonny, Lucia..... Sadly, as the school summer holidays come to an end, most of the youngsters are returning home soon so its bye till next year to some of them

It's now 8 at night and still so hot that I think I will pop off for a dip in the pool to cool off so

Bye for now
Sue
