Some 5 months ago I spotted a ‘page’ on Facebook that I had not seen before, it was for the Gran Sur Centro Comercial in Fañabe. For those of you that haven’t heard of this, it is a lovely shopping complex in the South of Tenerife, and has a variety of shops, restaurants as well [...]

50th Surprise
I can’t believe it is a week since Cathy celebrated her 50th Birthday party at Dreamers Bar in Los Cristianos! We have only just recovered … Rob and the team at Dreamers really looked after us and the Buffet was superb. We had Simply Mo and Celtic-Con-Fusion singing all night and a few guest singers [...]
Magic in Arona, Tenerife
A Weekend of Magic For those people that live in or visit Arona in Tenerife they already know that Arona is ‘Magic’, but for the weekend of 11th to 13th June 2010 everyone will know because they can visit the 4th annual Festival of Magic.

Photos of the Canaries from the ISS
I realise that these photos have been around for a week now and many, many people have published them on their own sites and of course all over Facebook, however I still think they are fantastic and just in case some of you haven’t seen them yet, here they are again! When I first saw [...]

First Time Since 2003
So, excess baggage pre booked on line, bags packed and off to the UK. That was me on Wednesday, dreading the change in temperature, leaving 24 degrees and expecting minus figures when I arrived. After a delay (inevitable these days apparently) we set off and after a good flight I am setting foot on the [...]

Nowadays a lot of the children here in Tenerife seem to receive some gifts from Father Christmas or Papa Noel as well as in the more traditional way in the early hours on 6th January, the day known as Dia de Los Reyes or 3 Kings Day. This is the day, of course, when the [...]
