Mark is rather pleased I’m back running again as it means he can enjoy a leisurely stroll with the older pups and I can attempt to tire our youngster out. This morning we went on a glorious 5 mile run, and I honestly expected him to be tuckered out by the end but nope, he was still play fighting and being a menace. Mark was convinced we had been hiding out in a cafe instead 🤣
After a coffee refuel and some coursework we decided we should likely progress further down the coast and opted for the affluent town of Denia.
What we hadn’t realised was there is a weather warning for gale force winds and that lovely warm weather we had travelled south for is nowhere to be seen. Indeed the van is rocking away so it’s a good thing neither of us suffer motion sickness.
We had a wander around, not realising the majority of shops/cafes were closed until 4pm, so at first we were worried we had entered a ghost town. However after a cuppa everywhere opened again and the town felt more alive. There is a huge marina and a couple of random sculptures. They are obviously used to English tourists as a number of the restaurants had English names.
We discovered a brilliant health shop with every possible vegan food…but wow the prices were obscene €6 for a tin of jack fruit! We bought a ginger cake, but will stick to lidl for our main shop (I really hadn’t realised how extensive their vegan range was before travelling).
Tonight Mark is braving the elements to hopefully find a pub to watch the football, while I study and try to wrap the dogs xmas presents (found cheap paw patrol paper lol).
Its definitely duvet and hot chocolate weather, and we are expecting to stay up late for the uk election results. Never before has tactical voting been considered so important. It feels like a crucial vote to protect our NHS, the environment, public services and basic morals…things that have suffered greatly while the focus has been on the nation dividing Brexit issue 😞
