Back in November, Dave and I decided to treat ourselves to our first holiday in over six years. We picked Gran Canaria as we used to come here years ago for family holidays when Lucy was small.
We have been looking forward to a bit of sunshine and higher temperatures, especially as Lucy and Mathew were joining us for a week
:)
We picked a different resort, Meloneras, which wasn't built when we were last here.
Here are a couple of photos.
The temperature has really dropped here in Competa. As we are up in the mountains it is even colder than down on the coast. We had lots of snowflakes yesterday afternoon, but it didn't lie.
Sadly, one of our favourite restaurants has closed and we are both missing the lovely family and the food from Despacho De Fernan :(
I have been making a banner for my friend's grandson, which took me a couple of afternoons.
This morning we had a very long power cut due to the winds, but Dave came to the rescue, providing us both with romantic lighting whilst we got washed in very very cold water and cleaned our teeth. The power was restored at 10 am and the shops and bars opened up a bit later than normal.
