Christmas dinner sorted!

Well, we have all been wondering what to do and where to eat dinner on Christmas Day but after a bit of persuasion Linda at Rabbies Bar has decided that for the first in years that she will open the bar on Christmas day but only for her local customers and also do a Christmas lunch.
Should be a good day...Cheers Linda!

Rabbies Bar all trimmed up!

Today in Loret de Mar

 Its been a busy Sunday in Lloret today, what with the monthly collectors fair and the new wine and cheese market by the town hall, the two events brought people into town and obviously the good weather helped! 

This stall was like the 'Old Curiosity Shop!

The wine and cheese stands did seem to be doing well, many of the shoppers were showing a lot of interest...unless it was the free tipples and nibbles they found interesting!

You can almost smell the cheese from here!
