coffee and lunch in Esperaza

Coffee in the market this morning, where Claudinne appeared and so did MJ, visiting her old haunts from the USA. Market was frisky and crowded, as befits a rather chilly sunday...good to see old friends.

Thence to lunch at Pete and Clares new gaff. It is sensational. No other word for it. 

 Here they are on the new terrace - one of them - with the gobsmacking view; below the first lunch. Here's to many more.

The car saga is ongoing. Having lost the car keys, the beast was abandoned in the market square with a note for the police explaining why, diligent searching having failed to find a policeman and of course, parking in the market square being forbidden on a Sunday.
They hired another car, one with a key.
After dinner last night they rang to say their car, the non-rental, had gone. Oh dear.

A little later they rang again to say they'd found it, over the old bridge.

We guess that someone found the keys, handed them in and the police did the job - but they still cant find a policeman to verify. Or to get their car back.

My curiosity will have to wait as I'm off to London for a week or so. More anon. Be good, y'all!
