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 [...]

Adding More Links

Time for a little housekeeping and a review of the links on The Beach today, deleted a few and added some nice shiny new ones. The property market is, so they say, now starting to improve and if you are looking to buy or sell you might want to take a look at what Janet [...]

Celtic-Con-Fusion

Simply Mo had a new gig on Saturday night and we thought we would have a wander down to see how he got on, I am very glad we did!  Have a look at the photos on Mo’s website. He has played at the venue many time before, Dreamers Bar in Los Cristianos, but in [...]

The Majestic

On the 19th February we set off to drive to Puerto de La Cruz, Alan and myself having been transformed into Alison and Steph!  The idea was that we were going to watch the High Heels Marathon that we had read so much about. Well our plan was flawed, you see we also decided to [...]

A Roller Coaster!

It’s been a bit of a roller coaster since my last post was made, and now there is one in our ‘front garden‘! My last post was about retiring to Tenerife (or anywhere for that matter) and was prepared just before some very good friends of ours arrived for a week long holiday, you see [...]

An Interview with Jesse Garon

If you haven’t seen and heard this guy, I suggest you try to rectify the situation as soon as possible!  He has an incredible voice and is a great entertainer based over here in the South of Tenerife, although he has been ‘adopted’ by the Canarian folk and has performed gigs in the North and [...]

Silver Wedding Anniversary

25 years ago today (at High Noon!) Cathy and I were married in a lovely ceremony at Gretna Green in Scotland.  It was a lovely day and we travelled up there from Durham leaving the snow and cold weather behind us and arriving (almost late!) in brilliant sunshine. A lot has happened since then, some [...]

An Interview with Nikki Attree

Somewhat delayed because of recent problems with the site, it is now time to meet the next person in our series.  Today I would like to introduce you to Nikki Attree, a lovely lady who I am sure you will all enjoy reading about. How long have you lived in Tenerife? I have been living [...]

Our Visitors are on the way!

Although they don’t arrive here until tomorrow, I know they are setting off today to make sure they don’t get held up on the M62 in bad weather (or at least that’s the thought!). It’s been a few years now since we have seen Alec and Jane, our neighbours from Leeds and we are looking [...]

Guest Posts

The Beach in Tenerife does accept ‘Guest Posts’ from time to time, these will be posts from other bloggers usually with a topic that is relevant to our own site.  I say usually because, being a relatively new blog I do not want to be to prescriptive! One thing that any ‘Guest’ will have to [...]
