sorry

hi everyone, huge apologies for not posting anything sooner - my internet connection has been temperamental to say the least! all is well here in sunny (and extremely hot at times) spain - except for the football result that is. for those of you who missed it, spain crashed out of the world cup last night at the hands (and feet) of france - a 3-1 thrashing i'm sad to report. so all hope now rests on england - oh dear.

had a fab weekend but was having way too much fun to actually take any pictures so apologies for that as well! it was the festival of san juan which basically involved huge bonfires being burned all along the beach, and each beach bar had its own beach party and live music or djs, which created one massive beach party! it was great. the best part for me was dancing on a ramp and watching the sea appear out of the darkness at around 6am - it was amazing!! then sunday evening myself and the cafe boys went off to watch the football. i had my first ride on the back of julian's bike (was terrified at first, but soon started to enjoy myself!). on the way back we were in celebratory mood and were tooting all the english fans on the beachfront - naff i know, but fun!! we headed back up to the village and consumed many many drinks! i have a new beverage to add to the ever-expanding repertoire - tinto de verano - its similar to sangria but consists of red wine, martini rosso and casera (a sugar free lemonade drink) - its yummy and incredibly drinkable, as my monday morning headache was to testify!!

will write again soon - hopefully with pictures for those of you with a short attention span! lots of love xxx
