Well almost. It seems amazing that I haven't posted anything for so long. It's not as if it hasn't been an eventful year, I just haven't got the camera out too often and I hate blogging without a picture.
Early in the year I went 'on an explore' along some of the less well known stretches of the Crane river, between Hanworth and Heathrow rather than towards Twickenham, where we usually take friends. But it's just as pretty, even if the path is a bit overgrown in parts.
Much of our life has revolved around Spain of course, and in February I started taking Spanish lessons every Monday at the Instituto Cervantes in London. Some of us wanted a bit more practice, so we had a few 'tapas' nights. The group has split up now, so I must get my current group interested. There's a great Cuban restaurant in Islington I could start them on.
Talking about tapas, anyone who comes over to La Linea will normally be expected to have a tapas lunch on Sunday afternoon at Casa Barea in Estacion de San Roque. Here's one of Mary, Tony and the kids right outside.
And this blog wouldn't be the same without pictures from the annual feria in La Linea. Ellie took these. Good eh?
Come August, I needed another shot of festival fever, so went along to the Notting Hill Carnival, which is my excuse for this gratuitous display.
Here's to 2009 - I'll try to publish more this year!
