September in Lloret

 What a lovely peaceful start to the day it was in Lloret this morning!

First thing this morning it looked as though we were set to have a dull, cloudy and much cooler day but shortly after these photos were taken the sun gradually came out from behind the clouds and once again we have an almost cloud free blue sky with a current temperature of 24ºc.

Game of Thrones in Girona

Series 6 of the popular TV series 'Game of Thrones' is just now been filmed in Girona....not too surprising when you look around at the fantastic buildings and streets of the old part of the city, it's an ideal back drop for the Game of Thrones!

We had a trip there on Monday to see if we could see any of the filming taking place, sadly the only evidence we saw were lots of TV & media vehicles parked up just across the river from where filming is taking place and just 2 stars of the series....the horses seen in the photos below!

The British Benevolent Association are holding a traditional English garden party this coming Saturday 19th September 3-6pm. Everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy home made cakes, games for young and old, plant sale, brick a brac stalls tombola and lots more.
