Early New Year Wishes

We've spent Xmas in Cartagena because we needed some parts for the boat and everything was closed for a few days for the Xmas festivities. Xmas day dawned clear and sunny, temperature 18 degrees. We opened our presents then went for a walk before cooking Xmas dinner. We had to downsize from the usual turkey due to oven size restrictions, so we started with soup and hot rolls, local fresh chicken roasted with potatoes, pumpkin, carrots and steamed green beans. No sprouts to be had to Mark's disappointment and my delight. Living in confined spaces and eating sprouts don't really mix. Finished off with homemade sticky toffee pudding and custard, all washed down with wine. Our first Xmas aboard.

Out for a stroll on Xmas day




We're moving on tomorrow, heading north for a couple of more days then east to Ibiza so not sure where we'll be on New Years Eve, might even be at sea so we're wishing everyone a great New Year a little early, we hope you all have a great evening and the hangovers are not too severe. Our next blog will be in 2008!!!
