Well it's that time of year again....Christmas..
Here in Mojacar we have been going about our daily business and thoroughly enjoying ourselves..
A couple of days ago we popped into a newish beach bar/restaurant that was nearing renovation when we were last here. It's slap bang on the beach in the neighbouring town of Garrucha and its called Boracay..
It's beautifully situated and we sat and enjoyed a cafe con leche whilst admiring the view...
Last weekend we visited the Costa del Sol town of Nerja and whilst there we visited a Rastro market on the Sunday morning... there I spied a lady selling vintage cotton, embroidered items such as blankets, table cloths and ladies tops.. One item particularly caught my eye, it was a very stylish, simple blanket in just three colours, red, green and white. It had a very Scandinavian style to it and after studying it at great length I have set about recreating it...
All will be revealed once complete!
Due to the fact that we had been away until the Monday we were somewhat behind with putting up our Christmas decoration so yesterday we set about rectifying that... The result?...see for yourself!
I have a mixture of handmade decorations, made my myself and my Mum, decorations bought on our travels around the world, decorations given to us as gifts by friends and decorations that we first bought when we came to Mojacar...so all get unwrapped for another year and displayed with love...
The two little angels are from Palm Springs...
Mini glass baubles...
Hand crocheted covers for a set of Christmas lights given to us by dear friends...
We don't have a fairy on top of our tree...we have a Spanish Matador jacket hand made by the wife of the guy who shows visitors around the bullring at Vera!!
The fruit, veg and turkey are ready for the morning...
Our last Zumba class has been attended to...with Christmas cake and Cava afterwards..We worked hard for that!!...
And a VERY light lunch today in preparation for the monster Christmas Day dinner that we will undoubtedly consume tomorrow...
So...whatever you're up to at this particular time of year...I hope ALL your Christmas come true..
Have a great Christmas...see you all soon...xx
