Busy times ... lots of good food and drink so no different to the rest of the year!
Jane and I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
We're having a few computer free days, it does tend to take up lots of my time so a bit of a break is needed.
Our cat 'Mota de Oro' was last seen on Christmas Eve at 09:00h. She didn't come home all day and night. Lots of searching ...
This is Daisy. She's 14. We brought her with us from the UK.
Our female donkey Rosie. Enjoying the Christmas sunshine in the orange and lemon grove.
We went out on Christmas Eve. The bars close early for a big family meal.
They then reopen for a late night party.
We were home before midnight and wished each other Merry Christmas.
Christmas day and no sign of Mota de Oro.
I searched all morning. Including the road. I was dreading to find her up there.
We had a lovely Christmas lunch.
Later we went out. There was a great atmosphere in the village. People singing and partying.
We were in Guayacan until late. Then Flora invited us to her house for a bottle of wine and tapas.
We got home around 04:00h. I took the dogs out for a long walk around the village, keeping my eye out for 'Motty'. No sign of her. We're really worried now. It's not like her to be out this long.
Still no sign of Mota de Oro. We're up late, but we're soon out looking for her.
Jane and I go out up onto the road again, fearing the worst. I go down onto the small track where we walk the dogs. We meet back at the house. Jane decided to go around the back of the house. I've checked here about five times in the last two days. No sign of the cat.
I was looking for Jane coming up the street to see if she'd had any luck.
She called into our neighbours hay shed. Out pops the cat from on top of some straw bales.
Had she been asleep next door for three days and two nights?
Here she is safely home. The cat who spoilt Christmas. A good title for a kids book?
We went down to Guayacan to see Yolanda. To tell her the good news about the cat.
We've been asked if Rosie can be used in the Three Kings procession. A TV crew from Andalucia's Canal Sur are coming to the village tomorrow to film a special dress rehearsal. They'll air the programme on the 5th/6th January 2007.
We'll have to put a star on her stable door.
