Memories of La Manga

Hi folks

I was playing tennis this afternoon - outdoors!

For those of you south of the border who think Scotland is engulfed in snow drifts from October to March this may come as a surprise.

Ok the Nadal shorts didn't make an appearance but it was pleasantly warm until the sun settled over the Edinburgh skyline late in the afternoon.

This is in sharp contrast to a week I spent in La Manga in September when it rained for five days. La Manga is in Spain by the way, where it should be warm and dry, with endless days of sunshine.

And yes you've guessed it - was a lovely week in Scotland

It's an old and well worn cliche - but there's no place like home!
