Birthday celebrations
We made it to Papa and Maureen’s. Dad rumbled our big surprise but Maureen had no idea. Betsy went trotting ahead up to where Maureen was on the terrace and gave her a real shock...

After the birthday breakfast, we took the dogs for a walk along the Mena-Macenas, which is a beautiful walk along the coast from Mojacar to Mecanus. It was lovely, but too hot for little Betsy so we did a section then gave up and returned to the van. We then went for a drink by the sea and tried to buy a small (cot sized ideally) duvet cover for Winnie’s bed, since she’s a messy dog.
The rest of the day has been spent reading, sleeping and drinking.
Oh and Pompey rescued a point after going down to ten men on 17 minutes. We remain hovering above the relegation zone.
