Tuesday 16th April

.

A quiet day of relaxing

After a busy one yesterday

Arriving home gone midnight

With little energy to play

Enjoying the view of the ocean

Listening to the waves splash and spray

With the warmth of the sun on our faces

Watching all the goings on in the bay

.

Love you sweetie

To the moon and back

Walking along to Playa Virginia

A brisk breeze blowing

Up on our terrace

Looking over the rooftops

Fragrant orange blossom

Bougainvillea

Processions in Málaga

The start of Holy Week

Crowds of tourists and locals

Celebrations quite unique

.

It would have been much better

If you were here with us

But in my heart forever

It will now always be as thus

.

Love you

Miss you

Thinking of you

Sunday 14th April

Shaded from the sun

Chilling everyone

Nerja for luncheon

In the sea, we swum

With bat and ball fun

When the day is done

Just perfect, bar none

Darling Angel son

With us, you’re among

Saturday 13th April

.

Coffee, chocolate and churros

We stopped for a midmorning break

Waiting for your brother to arrive

A guilty pleasure to take

.

We all had lunch together

Then walked to Pedregalejo

Dodging the tourists and locals

Ice creams and a smoothie combo

.

Late afternoon in the sunshine

Enjoying the warmth of the rays

The sea was too cold to swim

But it’s been the most perfect of days

.

Wish you were here

To join in the fun

With all your family

Darling Angel son

Coffee, chocolate and churros

Not very healthy, but so tasty!

Beers in the sun

Beautiful bottle brush

Shadows on the pavement

My broccoli, celery, mango and apple smoothie

A delicious ice cream sundae

Late afternoon at the beach

But the sea was rather cool

So many green parrots live in the palms

Enjoying the warmth

Friday 12th April

.

Lazing on the rooftop terrace

Shaded from the blazing sun

Watching aeroplanes and sailboats

From midday ’til the day is done

.

A lovely day doing nothing

Relaxing and recharging

Such a beautiful blue sky

Far away, hot dogs are barking

.

Love you poppet

Morning coffee at a pavement café

Cafe con leche and a Danish pastry

Our new, bigger apartment, ready for younger son and girlfriend who arrive tomorrow

The rooftop terrace

Looking out to sea

Lots of little cuboid buildings, almost all with terraces

Thursday 11th April

.

Minding my own

Owning my mind

.

Living a dream

Dreaming a life

.

Breathing to calm

Calming to breathe

.

Challenging the strength

Strengthening the challenge

.

Learning to live

Living to learn

.

Loving the happiness

Happy with love

.

Thinking of you

You are my thoughts

Loving you

You are my love

Looking towards the port of Málaga

A sunny day at El Palo beach

Our lunch, cooked on a barbecue, placed in an aluminium fishing boat

Us at the beach

A healthy salad

And delicious boquerones y limón

A stroll along the sand

The beachside Restaurante Los Marineros

Meandering along the seafront

Wednesday 10th April

.

Sitting on our terrace

Not far from the ocean

Looking over the rooftops

The waves in salty motion

.

A beachside chiringuito

Sardines and anchovies

Espetos y boquerones

And a couple of beers please

.

A warm and sunny afternoon

Just watching the world go by

A sailboat enjoys the breeze

Fluffy clouds float in the sky

.

Thinking of you my darling

You’re with us all the way

Just like you were in times past

You loved your holiday

.

Driving past a brewery this morning

Espetos for lunch

Boquerones cooked on an outdoor barbecue

A colourful walkway in El Palo, Málaga

Looking over the rooftops

Towards the Mediterranean Sea

Fluffy clouds

Tree lined street

Palm trees at the beach

Tuesday 9th April

We’re off to see your brother

On a late night flight to Spain

He’ll be joining us at the weekend

It’ll be so good to see him again

.

In my heart I’m taking you

Right beside me, stuck like glue

.

Love you sweetie

Monday 8th April

.

Four years ago we laid you to rest

The second saddest day of our lives

The first was when I couldn’t save you

That night when you closed your eyes

Four lonely years without you here

But your beautiful memory survives

.

Missing you my sweetheart

Love you to the moon and back

Frank was a big fan of HeMan, and would hold his arm aloft, while declaring “I have the power”.

HeMan’s sword went with Frank on his heavenly journey

Sunday 7th April

What we shared together

Will never fade away

I’ll love you ’til forever

But miss you everyday

Dearest darling Angel son
