Try the Kingsmill (several types available) which for some reason seems to stay fresh for much longer out here than bread ever does in the UK.
It's the best thing since........................

Thanks for the news, but I don't think Kings Mill has made it this far Inland as yet, we are two hours from the Costa's

They are excellent and are famously made in Antequera, and should find there way into the hinterland of toddcl country - especially since the furgoneta replaced (largely) the mulo, although having looked up where you are todd I see that you really mean inland!

Olive here is your virtual crackerjack pencil. Sorry about the name patch but I had to erase Peteroldracer. I hope you like virtual carpentry as it is a virtual carpenters pencil.

Did you do that walk in the Sierra Nevada?

I have breakfast with the early bird men at 6.30 am. The olive growers and police coming on duty.

We have coffee and anis while the local plod have coffee and a brandy.
Liquid breakfast is a custom I could get used to if I'm not careful.

Try the milk bread - pan leche - it's much kinder to teeth and gums :)

I know they can be found in small baguette-form in supermarkets but maybe you could ask at your local bakery?

Too busy fitting a virtual new front door. The pencil came in very handy though couldn't see the lines, many thanks. That may just be old age.

We decided against the walk on the grounds of time - 15 hour day and it would have been too much for some in the party. Plenty of other splendid walks. We will leave that one to the experts.

Filled my freezer with Christmas meats yesterday. Goose, turkey stuffed with a duck, Pork joint and peppered beef.

Freezer Door didn't close completely, so we are now having a pre Christmas feast tonight.
