Malaga, trains, travel

So I’m hopping the train to Málaga this morning…

I always get a bit nervous before a trip, even a short one like this. I guess because I don’t do it very often. But this time I am taking the bare minimum since it will probably be just overnight (slight chance of staying until Saturday). It’s kind of nice travelling so light. Well, except for Shadow, who is rather heavy. But I couldn’t leave home without him.

And I was thinking how travelling by train is my favourite way to go. Planes terrify me, buses make me sick, cars are okay in that you can stop whenever you want … but for straight A-to-B travel I really think trains are the best. And notice I didn’t even mention boats.

What’s your favourite way to travel?

vineyard visit

Malaga, wines

Off to Málaga again! Well, maybe.

Not a holiday this time though. And no, I cannot afford this in the slightest, but it kind of just happened … or well, it’s almost happened. It all started a couple of weeks ago when María Paz told me she had to drive down to Málaga to pick up friends at the airport and said if I wanted to take some time off (she knows I love Málaga) that she could give me a lift and drop me off, and that she would also be glad of the company. I told her I wasn’t able to take holidays but later I thought it might be a good opportunity to visit the Málaga vineyards. You may recall that I’ve been working with a client on her social media stuff and so a visit to the vineyards and bodega would not only be interesting but would also help with writing the blog posts. And of course a couple of days staying at Manolo’s fabulous apartment wouldn’t be hard to take. But things haven’t quite turned out as planned…

After a rather shaky & stressful start, my 4-day long weekend couldn’t have been better. Well okay, we could have passed on bussing out to Marbella on Saturday to go to the new M&S there – that was a real waste of time and money. The M&S was tiny with a very uninteresting selection of products. They didn’t even have any decent Christmas cards for me to use next year! But they did have mince pies (bought two packets) and amazing blueberry muffins (Jessica got some for brekky). And I also got some lovely Belgian chocolates – I left one box as a thank-you gift in Manolo’s kitchen, the other I’ll give to “mi salvadora” Isabel. But I’m getting ahead of myself …

nice to be home…

cats, christmas, holidays, Malaga

Got home from Málaga yesterday evening … I was so excited to see Azar again! As soon as I opened the door he started MEOWING like crazy. Then he ran under the bed and pretended to sulk. But unlike other times he only managed to sulk for about three minutes before coming out and allowing himself to be snibbled. That was when I saw that he had managed to keep himself amused during my absence by dragging clothes out from the storage boxes under the bed and making mincemeat out of a roll of paper towels that had been left on an end table in the livingroom (and not for the first time).

After much snibbling and rolling around on the bed with small black cat I started on the first of several loads of washing that need doing and then … I put up the Christmas tree! Right on schedule.

Today I’m going to work on my Málaga photos and will hopefully have them up on Fotki to show you all a bit later. It was a wonderful long weekend and great to get away, but also so very nice to be home again.

I’m sitting on the train and it’s a miracle. I still can’t believe I’m here.

This is what happened…
