Dave’s brother Kevin & his wife Helen (so there are TWO Helen Millers !!!) had earmarked Thursday for a “Pizza Afternoon” up at his place in the hills…
Updated the blog in the morning, got ready & then at 12:30pm Kevin kindly came to collect Dave, myself, Paul & Sue and drive like Stirling Moss on the windy dirt-track-cliff-edge roads 😳 back to his place & dropped us off with Helen (who was an excellent hostess & immediately plied us with wine before putting Dave’s t-shirts in her washing machine !!!)
Meanwhile Kevin then bombed back to town to do another run, plus a couple of peeps drove themselves so there were about 14 of us in total.
Kevin has a pizza oven built into the wall in the outside space and it took a couple of hours to warm up and then the pizzas 🍕 kept on coming (accompanied by salads & some French sausages we’d brought that needed eating…) – as did the wine 🍷 🥴
We’d met one couple the night before & a couple of ladies on a previous visit but all of the peeps were lovely, the weather was gorgeous (as was the outside space to enjoy it) and it was just a wonderful day… ❤️ (Check out the views from his veranda in the photies below where we have the Dave on his own, the 3 sister-in-laws, the 3 brothers and then Dave wandered out holding a glass of whiskey announcing the glass had been a wedding present to Kevin & Helen 30-odd years ago… After the amount of alcohol he had consumed by then, I’m amazed it lasted the rest of the day 😂 )
Kevin, by comparison, was very measured in his alcohol intake and even dropped us all back at Los Arcos to carry on (which might not have been the best plan as neither Dave or I can remember going to bed 😳🥴😐… but magically the clean, dry t-shirts managed to accompany us !!!)
