This weekend Liesl’s Aunt and Uncle (June and Alan – although 
Liesl still calls them Uncle Alan and Auntie June – bless!) visited us for a few days whilst they were already on their month long holiday touring Spain – very nice.

As its starting to ramp up to the “really warm” weather – as opposed to what has become usual 20-30 degrees every day and sunny weather, all manner of new bars and resturants have started to pop up in places that we never even knew existed! These bars seem to be temporary things that just get put up in 
the summer, we have certainly never seen them before and they must be trusting that the weather is fine because they would get washed away if anything drastic happened!
