Then it was 'stay away from Covid' time for a couple of weeks before our Countdown to our holday of a Lifetime reached down to Zero and we were off and away, via Gatwick, to Barbados and Sailaway to Svalbard for 60 days on April 25th
Back from the frozen north, 2 days later we were off to Asturias again, hoping to improve our 'espanol'! But it was not to be: the padres got Covid, so, after just one hike, we were quarantined in our room
Back in Moraira we had more than 2 months of 30-35 degree days, rising even to 41degrees once . But we did escape for 9 days in mid August when we went to France on our annual pilgrimage.
Celebrated the pater's birthday at the Dauphin

On Monday, September 26th we set of to Lisbon for another, action packed, r cruise on the Silver Cloud, 6 weeks from Lisbon to Buenos Aires ( spread over 5 pages)
On our return Sally & Margaret came to stay but we were still too exhausted to appear before the camera with them!
And so a quiet few weeks, during which the madre endured a retina operation ( in the hope that the day would never come when she failed to recognise us!), until time to go to Malta on December 10th
Google informs us that we have travelled 1.2 times round the world in 2022, a distance of 48,692 kms!
