Seriously where has the year 2022 gone? Last but not least here it is my December Blog to end a very busy year.


It has been an amazing very full December.

Kicking off with my Mumzy turning 80.

Look how amazing she looks?

Does not look a day over 60 and no im not biased but yes she is absolutely gorgeous.

Here's to the next 10 years mumzeee!!


Tom, my number one step-dad, took her on a cruise of a lifetime and they had an absolute ball.

Fred Olsen thank you for looking after my mumzee on her very special day. They were amazing. If your looking for a special treat for that special person or for yourself then a cruise it is.

Check out right here where they cruise to https://www.fredolsencruises.com/


I have ate and drank my head off all December. Is that not what December is about?

Hit a new restaurant I have never been to before with my good friends Andy & Sorelle Fox of Villa's Fox Estate Agents, San Miguel de Salinas https://villasfox.com/


La Dolce Vita Italian Restaurant based in La Fuente. My fave being Italian the food and service was 100%. Can't wait to go back! https://www.facebook.com/Lafuentedolcevita #Italian #Food #Drinks #Pasta


The secret is out!! What a day we all had doing this calendar, which I swore blind I would never do in a million. But hey what the heck, you do only live once after all.

So off we all went to La Finca Resort, the home of our BIG FM'S 10th Year Anniversary Ball. And basically stripped off! https://www.lafincaresort.com/

Noooo It wasn't actually like that it was done very professionally by our photographer Mike Ryan.


Top notch guy check him out right here https://www.facebook.com/mikeryanphotos


All for a good cause of course...




Christmas for me was fantastic. Having mi marido here, our Mike and my gorgeous Mumzee & Tom we all had an absolutely amazing time. I don't think you can fault Christmas here in Spain one bit. Out of the manicness of the UK I personally think its more enjoyable.

Big FM's Carol Concert was a great success.

We're so grateful to have so much support from our community, and would like to give special thanks to Pam from the RBL Torrevieja Branch for her massive efforts organising this event alongside our Events Team, the RBL Concert Band for providing us with phenomenal music, Tommy's bar Benimar for kindly donating the Mince Pies, and Triple Brew for making the most exquisite mulled wine! #CarolSingers #Mulledwine #MincePies #ChristmasSongs


As you all know, the Carol Concert was focused on raising funds for several good causes, and in the short two hours we were out, our fantastic community managed to raise €344 for the Royal British Legion Torrevieja Branch and €197 for A Helping Hand - Food & Clothes Bank -Costa Blanca. We are in awe of the generosity of the people who surround us, and are extremely grateful for your support. #Charity #Raisingfunds #Peopleinneed


A big thank you to the stall holders who made our little event magical: Mist Jewellery Quesada, Hard Jellies Resin Art by Natasha Jordan, Secret Shed Woodworks and Gifts, Art2Craft by Janet Jordan, and Dinky Di.

And to each and everyone of you that turned up. See you at next years!!



A Christmas Eve bbq for us lot this year. Glorious weather, more fantastic food and of course the very best company.


Oh my....... What can I say about Christmas Day...


Meson El Prado pulled out all the stops for an amazing day had by all that managed to secure a booking.


Yes they fill up as soon as Feliz Navidad is advertised.


Just 50euros per person how cheap is that!


And yes that meant ALL drinks whatever you wanted to drink included and no washing up!!





Gratic Scallop & melt in your mouth oven Lamb with all the trimmings and more.

Every potato you could ask for.

Drinks and entertainment a plenty.












All the hard working staff came out to have a dance and wish us all a very merry Christmas.


Thank you so much to everyone at Meson El Prado for such an amazing Christmas Day...

See you all next year!

Feliz Navidad!!

The best place to be on Christmas Day.




And then it was Boxing Day and my god more glorious food and drink.. This time still keeping it in the village and supporting local business's of course it was Wash & Drink... Wishy Washy as we call it. For the most amazing freshly cooked Laguistines.. Yum Yum!!




That much went on in December I have no idea how I fitted it all in.

I definately can't leave this restaurant out though.

Yes more food and drinks. This time along the seafront at Playa Flamenca. #gettingevenfatter



The Lobster Restaurant.

Been meaning to go here for a very long time. Finally we made it and it was Well worth waiting for.




You seriously can't beat fresh oysters, fresh

lobster, washed down with a light chilled Chardonnay Yes white wine for me for a change. in the sunshine watching the world go by.


I really could go on and on what we got upto over the festive period but don't want to bore you to death so I will just leave some photo's here...


A day out to Mil Palmeras, my totally fave beach in the area.


We could not, any of the days over the festive period, fault the weather.

It was absolutely glorious.
