Saying goodbye to Davina

Friday was a gentle day at home. We all went down to the Market and had churros y chocolate for breakfast. After a trip round the fish market to choose dinner, Davina took herself to the Alcazar as its 10 years since her last visit. Lunch on the roof terrace in the sun and dinner at home.

Saturday we had a lovely lunch at Gabrielas before putting Davina in a taxi for the station. Her train to Seville and late flight to Gatwick were on time and she was home in Lewes just after midnight,

A normal Sunday with church and football though lunch in the sun at Albores was strange. When we ate there a couple of weeks ago we were the only customers between 8.00 an 9.30. They also had what looked like a staff meting with a boss after which the waiters were not happy. Yesterday it was as packed as usual but the waters seemed stressed, kept getting orders wrong and they didn't have any of my favourite puntillitas left! Food was still good. Jerez second team won again though Tim's favourite could only manage a 0-0 draw and may get relegated.

Now we have the depressing task of prep to leave. As always it's gone too fast though we are looking forward to Cordoba.Read more
