T is For New Place fr Breakfast

 Happy to say summer has finally arrived, weather sunny and warm , we had our first swim on Saturday, quite cool getting in at first but lovely once I started swimming. My DH doesn't swim he just gets in the water and goes round the edges cleaning and skimming the top, I swim around him LOL



Yesterday as usual we had our walk around Bolnuevo, this is a beach bar they erect every summer, they have a few in the Puerto too.




This is Las Redes, the same name as the one I think I mentioned that had to close down on the sea front.

Not the same staff so we think it's been taken over, shame as the other staff were really friendly, the girl here couldn't smile if her life depended on it!

The small outside terrace, just across the other side of the road they have a large dining area.


The inside of the restaurant, through the window, there's a few tables to the left behind the window too, I like the nets and beach theme they've used.

You can just see the Jamon with a cloth over it on a small table, you can have some thinly sliced on the tomatoes but I prefer it with melon.



Our breakfast, Tostado Con Tomate, We like pepper with our tomatoes but there was more pepper in the little packet than normal!! I do love the fancy plates they use.

The bread is lovely, I think they bake it themselves as it always tastes as if fresh from the oven.

Lovely coffee and my ticket to the T Party for this week.

Our circular walk is just over two miles and ends just down the road from the restaurant.



The wet weather we’ve had has bought out the ants, they have been coming out of the grout between the tiles in the conservatory, I hate them and get quite obsessed with them so I’ve been spraying the grout , I’ve found dead ones the next morning, we’ve had a few small flying ants too but not as bad as other years, it’s my ongoing battle!

Later this week we will have to dig out the grout and see what's happening under there.




I made this card to honour a friend on 
Splitcoast Stampers, she was chosen as Stamper of the week, we had to choose a card from her gallery to make, I tried to copy the Moroccan tile effect, this was the only paper I had that looked anything like a tile, everything was from my stash, the accordion flower die I’ve had for years, it’s hardly been used, like many things in my craft room!





Finally managed to wash the Duvet so I can store it for the summer, we only use the thin summer weight Duvet so luckily it fits into my washing machine, we actually had to put the fan on in the bedroom last night as it's very humid with the rain and now the heat drying everything.

We are also preparing for our family arriving next week from San Francisco, they are in Cuba at the moment, pictured in a Pink Cadillac, haha, they are flying to New York and then Berlin before arriving here so I'm guessing they will be quite happy to chill out by the pool for two weeks!

Happy T Day Ladies

  1. Lovely photos. No rain here, and no ants yet, my balcony was invaded by them last year! Have a happy T Day, hugs, Valerie

  2. I also hate ants, but I don’t know which I hate more, bugs or bug poisons!

    Your toast with tomatoes looks delicious.

  3. I love the beach, the beachy themed restaurant, and fresh, baked bread. Lovely beachy colored card, too. Happy T Day

  4. It's so interesting how much of the world doesn't have something sweet for breakfast. Your breakfast does look yummy and like something I would even have for lunch-smile. And hurrah for summer and swimming. I've been in at my mother-in-law's home a couple of times, but the water is still chilly-actually cold. I like being able to swim though. Glad you get to enjoy the pool. Hope it warms up soon. Happy T day-or hope it was happy depending on when you read this. hugs-Erika

  5. Your meal looks delicious!
    I too hate ants in my house, especially the flying kind. We use Tarro to kill them.
    Sounds like your family will be exhausted after so much travel. I hope you enjoy your time with them.
    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

  6. I've noticed a few ants on my back patio table, but thankfully not inside yet. Of course, if they are outside, it won't be long till they find their way inside. Like Kate, I use a product called Terro. It's for grease ants, but you can add a bit of sugar to the liquid (consistency of honey) and it attracts sugar ants, too.

    Your card is fabulous. I can see why you and Sharon are such great friends. Your latest card is out of this world. It's really charming, Jan.

    What a fun looking restaurant, but sorry about the waitress. Your breakfast looks delicious. I love tomatoes on bread. And I bet it went great with your coffee, too. Thanks so much for sharing your walk, your darling card, and your breakfast with us for T this Tuesday, dear Jan.

  8. Your food looks delicious and I do like the plates it is served on.
    Darn those ants. I use a cedar based spray that doesn't harm pets and other animals, and it seems to work pretty well. It smells nice, too - of cedar of course.
