A Postcard from Mallorca




















We've just returned from a few days in the very beautiful Mallorca.
We don't often do this sort of holiday, as we usually tend to go somewhere in our caravan during half terms, but this year, as the weather has been so awful, we couldn't resist the call of the Med!


















We hired a car and explored the northern part of the island, all blue skies, golden beaches and high mountains. Just stunning!
























We stayed quite close to the old walled town at Alcudia.
Soller's little train.... we didn't get a chance to ride on it but it's on my list for next time.

 The lighthouse at Cap Formentor.....Majorca's most northerly point.
 The scary road leading to the lighthouse ... sheer drops on my side of the road!!!!!
 This is what the sun looks like ..... I haven't seen it for so long!
 There are so many of these little coves around the coast.

 How the other half live! The marina at Port d'Alcudia.
I'll show you were we stayed in my next post.

A Right Royal Knees Up

Are you all enjoying the Diamond Jubilee celebrations? Pity about the rain!!!

On Friday we had a Red, White and Blue day in school with fun activities all day long. The highlight was a great feast "street party' style out in the playground. We were incredibly fortunate with the weather, as the sun streamed down on the proceedings all afternoon.
This is the view from our rooftop playground. 
 A royal occasion needs a crown ....
Our P.A. had worked so hard and did us proud!
The chocolate marshmallows melted in the sunshine and had to be licked ....
Meanwhile, up on the roof itself we had a disco ....
with a guest DJ doing his hip- hop moves
As always, the girls were dancing and the boys were nowhere to be seen. (They were actually rolling around on the newly fitted astroturf)
Later, Her Majesty dropped in to give us a royal wave ....
Great fun .... a day to tell their grandchildren about! I hope they remember it!

Happy June everyone ....

I'm very happy indeed, because I have a two week break from the day job!

Hooray!!!!

That should give me time to get a head start on the list for June.

Apologies to all non-Brits playing along, but it really can't be avoided in the UK!

Happy hunting!
