Burn's Night in Rabbies Bar

It was a packed house for Burns night celebrations in Rabbies Bar last night...the bar in Fenals which is named after the Scottish poet himself. Thanks to Hammy, Linda and Colin for the typical 'Burns supper' of haggis, mince, tatties and neeps, it was a great evening enjoyed by all as you can tell!

Rabbie's Golf Tournament.

Rabbies Bar golf tournament yesterday was for the first time played for the 'Colin Linkie' trophy. Colin's wife Angie was quite emotional as she awarded the trophy to winner Johnny Madrid from the Alcatraz bar in Calella.

In the photos here are some of the players who took part and also some of Angies closest friends who were there to support her on this extra special day.

Lloret de Mar Restaurants

 One of my favourite restaurants in Lloret is the El Senglar which is just 2-3km outskirts of town in a countryside setting, in the restaurants grounds are a lovely collection of animals some of which you can see here, also seperate to the restaurant is a large BBQ which is ideal for the summer months. Their daily three course menu is still only €6, and it really is great value for money with generous sized portions of excellent food!

Lloret de Mar January weather

It doesn't seem possible that after the weekends bad weather and rough sea, yesterday was almost like a summers day. Outside the Planiol Restaurant in Fenals people were sat enjoying the very good temperatures while having a coffee and reading their papers...someone decided it was also great weather for a days fishing!
