Filming in Los Cristianos

Easter Sunday 2013 and a film crew arrives at the Magic Roundabout in Los Cristianos, Tenerife.  Local Police turn up too, lots of standing around takes place.  Then a beautiful Stag arrives.  More standing around, must be par for the course.  The 2 small barriers are pulled across the roadway and, yes the stag leaps forward, drives around the roundabout and stops … right behind a palm tree!  Ah well, here are a few snaps I managed to take.

NYE 2013

What a fabulous night we had, even though we missed the Bands at the Cultural Centre this year! We arrived too late and soon found they were half way through their final number and then they started packing away, oops. Here are some photos of the evening’s festivities:

Three Kings Day Parade 2013

A Walk to the Shops and Back

Simply Mo with Elinor

Surprised by the Family!

They got their own back last night … ‘come down to the Irish Times to take some photos of Aaron’s birthday please’ was the message I got a week ago. So, not feeling too well (my blood sugar is playing up at the moment), I pushed myself to go down for about 10:30 hrs and…

Still having Physio!

You may remember that on 14th October last year I ran for the bus and ended up breaking a bone in my foot, well although the bone appears to be healing well I am still having pain and have just been referred back to have more physio to try to sort the damaged tendons out….
