I have just read about a new dog rescue centre opening in Tenerife, or perhaps more correctly, being made an official Charity.

Tenerife and the Volcano
It looks like things are starting to move again now, and I know there have been loads of articles written about the effects of the Volcano but how many of us living on this Volcanic Island of Tenerife would have thought that it would be a volcano on Iceland that would have caused disruption to us…
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

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…
