We woke Thursday morning in Spain wanting something cold; our still sleeping hosts' fridge had what looked like Spanish Dandelion and Burdock, the front label said no added sugar and indeed it was pleasantly dry and sharp.  Half way down the second large glass we discovered that Tinto de Verano is 4%.  Other things we learnt in Salobreña were the local authority collects your rubbish EVERY DAY, something the Suffolk Coastal Collection Delivery Team might want to think about as they work towards one collection a year ... just before Christmas so the dustmen can get their

bung; and if Stansted's security have confiscated your jar of Pataks Lime Pickle you can get another one in Super Sol ... which is more than you can do in Solar.

The historic Harwich Electric Palace Cinema is a bit of a trek but worth the effort and at the end of next month it's showing Peter Hall's Akenfield.  Made in 1974 the film was shot on location in villages west of Wickham Market and using local people as the cast.
