No, not the usual rumours you hear in Tenerife, this time it is a family run restaurant that we found in Los Cristianos when the power was off a few weeks ago! We had set off walking from home in search of somewhere to eat and because of the power cut following the storms most [...]

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 [...]
Retiring to Tenerife
If you’re thinking about retiring to live abroad then be sure you are not alone. Especially at this time of the year when the temperatures are lower and the amount of sunshine available in Britain is at minimum levels it’s very common for the British to start scouring the internet and picking up brochures to [...]
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 [...]
Land for Live Arico
According to one of the articles on Tenerife Dogs it would appear that the purchase of land by/for Live Arico is moving from a dream to a reality as they attempt to buy a piece of land in Fasnia. They are part of the way there, due to several generous benefactors, but construction costs will [...]
Dia de Los Reyes

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 [...]
¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
Where has this year gone to? It’s the 2nd January already! Hope you all had a great celebration on Thursday night/Friday morning, I know we did, the atmosphere was brilliant down near the beach for the Fireworks at midnight although we nearly missed it – we didn’t leave Cheers Bar in time and Cathy had [...]
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 [...]
Back to Normal
Well, it’s all over now for another year, maybe we can get back to normal again now! Hope you all enjoyed the festivities yesterday and that you received everything you wanted. Was it safe to let Mo carve? We had a great afternoon and evening, having been invited to have Christmas Dinner with our son, [...]
