This Live Calendar is Updated in Real Time One weakness of Lanzarote is that it's really hard to get information about events, concerts and other happenings very far ahead of them happening. In fact, sometimes we get notified after the event! Having said that,...

Many of you will know of Ikarus in Teguise or perhaps have eaten there in the past? It has recently been taken over by new owners and I only needed a tiny excuse to go and try it out. It was excellent, good menu choice; friendly welcome  and the good news is that it...

Martina has added 3 new cars to her fleet. The smaller run around is easy to drive and park. The five seater is great for a family with luggage and the new automatic is a comfortable ride. As you know I have always used Martinas Autos a small reliable family business...

A fabulous time in Cornwall, London, Sheffield and Brighton catching up with old friends and making new ones. Being in the fortunate position of having very capable friends holding the fort here we took advantage of the quieter weeks over here; every moment was fun...

Clients sent me these photos and report a few moments ago after their son and daughter in law have enjoyed a fantastic walk in the Timanfaya National Park.......they write... 'Apparently the walk was AMAZING... but took them about 2 and a half hours, because they...

Although the PM did not visit BARSTRO ( his loss) I am delighted to tell you he had a fab day on Arrieta beach arriving early in the morning enjoyed lunch at the beach bar ( known to many of you I'm sure) and then spent the afternoon swimming with his family at the...

I have just been told off by a client who says why haven't I been putting late availability on this page? Well for one reason we haven't had very much as I think you all decided to get away from the rain! Right here you are.... LATE AVAILABILITY Casa Galles is...

After hearing many glowing reports we decided to head off to Haria this morning to see the latest Manrique addition to the Island; this is where the great man lived and I quite understand why he is is so loved and revered. Nestled in 'the land of 1000 palms'  his...

Just to give you an idea what its like here in February. These lovely photos were taken by good friends who enjoyed the 'Tabayesco circular' walk. a couple of weeks ago. Its glorious here today sunshine and blue blue sky. The waves are fabulous and the sea so...

I promised to keep you in the picture re what was happening re the repositioning of the satellite. A week ago we lost both ITV and BBC which was a blow! However all our villas have a Sky system so there are still many channels available and having recently spent time...

A lovely 3 week break thank you Kate and Carole for taking care of things for me. What news? The circumvalacion continues to be a nightmare bridges disappear over night and roundabouts appear the next morning. As soon as there is a definite road plan I will of course...

Any one heading to Nazaret or the North of the island please take care. As you leave the airport follow the directions I give you. When you come to the circumvalacion  you will see the road is being changed  to a duel carriageway nothing to worry about just follow the...

Many of our friends will be familiar with Cliff our feral cat who we found on a cliff over 17 years ago. Sadly we had to have him put to sleep yesterday. He went downhill very quickly and Jane our lovely vet said he was having breathing difficulties and the strain on...

After trying for an hour to give you a festive photo I gave up. Leo just freaked out and said NO to dressing up as Rudolf ( you can hardly blame him!) Archie was much more co-operative but he too hit the bottle after the session. We wish all of you reading this the...

Ok I know..Aly and myself spend all our time eating BUT when something worth trying is recommended you just have to give it a go. We went at lunch time today even if you just go for a coffee or a glass of wine its well worth the visit AND you are not charged a daft...

I haven't posted many photos of Leo and Archie any I have been asked by many of our guests how they are getting on. The answer is pretty good as you can see by the photo I took of them just before lunch today. They are great fun and a joy to have. Hey its nearly time...

Perhaps one of my favourite months the sun rises and sets are fantastic. If you haven't treated yourself to supper watching a sunset at El Golfo you should its magical. Talking of supper we went to La Cabana last week it was perhaps better than ever. Where ever you...
