Majorca gardens
Ray and I are off to Majorca soon for two weeks. Having been there once
over 20 years ago and then sailed in only once about 14 years ago, I just can't remember what we should be looking for in terms of gardens, though I'm sure there must be plenty? Any hints from anyone - assuming we ever leave the poolside. ;-) -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

Any hints from anyone - assuming we ever leave the poolside. ;-) -- Sacha Just got back from there this afternoon. I think you will leave the poolside because it is getting over the unbearable heat stage now. We got there last Thursday quite early, checked into our Cruise Ship then went for a walk along the Marina. Sailed out in the evening and on returning this morning, noticed the drop in temperature. Got to Gatwick and noticed the even bigger drop. As you require an update from 20 years ago, why not go into your local Travel Agent and 'collect' a few brochures? BTW, if there are any Marine Electrical Engineers on this newsgroup, I was offered work whilst chatting to an ex Pat Marine Engineer who has been there for 7 years and has no intention of returning to the UK. Applicant must be familiar with all aspects of Marine Electrics from small yachts and cruisers to multi million pound Gin Palaces. At nearly 70, a bit too old, but if anyone fancies it, I can give details. Mike |

And today we have the rain plus the wind. We tend to have holidays mainly in September now and I think it's a good way of setting ourselves up to face the ghastly winter to come, though I must admit we're sneaking one in Feb, too. If winter was dry cold and snowed, I'd be a very happy bunny but here it just rains and/or sits as a 'Dartmoor clag' over our heads for months on end, or so it seems. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |
