Sat 3 Feb Mojacar

Moving day today in our little corner of the camp, Luke and Mario left, Colin and Pat took their spot and we moved sideways from under the trees to where they had been and bit more sun.

I put the toast on, went to the rubbish bin, got chatting to a new couple from Devon looking to get a bigger moho....then all hell let loose.....our smoke alarm was screaming and smoke was bellowing out of Bessie, Tony was standing outside with the toaster tray with black charcoal remains...eeekkkk......I am not safe to be let out when cooking!!!

No damage done opened all windows and vents and the smell and smoke soon left....the couple came for a look but didn't ask how much haha.........alls well that ends well.

1pm we walked with Colin and Pat to Martin Moarles restaurant,  it was warm and sunny so sat outside. Excellent meal, €15 for menu.......soooo many choices of starters, mains, and deserts or ice creams. Very generous portions too, so a real feast pre rugby....good job they weren't playing they wouldn't have got round very quick after that feast haha.

Complimentary individual round loaf with large bowl of garlic aoli,  then complimentary little warm cheese balls which were delicious. Tony had whitebait entre but it came out a very large serving of fish more like sardines certainly not what we call whitebait, I had scallop in sort of a chowder which was very tasty and several of his fish. Colin had black pudding in filo wraps,Pat had deep fried goats cheese with fig chutney.  For main, I finally got my fish feast, moist fillet of hake with, mussels,  clams and squid in a tomato sauce. Tony had pork ribs and sliced Spanish potatoes, Colin had duck fillets and Pat had an enormous lamb shank......so the dogs got a treat as well.

So many varieties of ice-cream and deserts, I had lemon and lime ice-cream cake, very refreshing, Tony had cheesecake with blueberry ice-cream,  Colin had a very large price of carrot cake with ice-cream and Pat had fig ice-cream. All very delicious, the restaurant was chocker full inside as well as out, obviously a favourite of the locals as well. Definately recommend.

After a delay in paying as they were so busy, Tony and Colin were going to be late for the kick off, Pat and I walked back then she took the girls for a long walk and I finished my DCI Banks book.

They were going to have a Pie and pint for €6 but were both so full they could only manage 2 half's.
