We had a week timeshare we needed to use up before we lost it so booked a last minute trip to Spain, taking mum and dad with us.
We were only there a week but certainly got around in an awful rental car.John said it was like driving a giant sponge.
Got to see the apes in Gibralter , had lunch in Marbella but not with all the posh people as neither of us could tolerate people with false airs and graces , went into the hills for some peace and quiet, and generally chilled out.
When we got back after our drives out , John and dad would watch the tv as there was something special on like the World Cup or something similar so mum and I would get them drinks and then go sit on the terrace with a bottle of wine.
When the matches had finished which was usually about 5.30ish , we would then hop over the little wall and catch the last hour of warm sun by the pool which was literally steps from out terrace. Lovely!
As John and I worked 26 hours a day and 8 days a week as the 'norm' we only wanted to unwind which is exactly what we all did.
Such good memories!
Love you John xxxxxxx
