What a wonderful account of the trip to Spain, sure made me miss that European possibility of being in a completely different country, culture and language in just a short drive. You should have included pictures of the birthday food, especially el jamon serrano, I'm sure it was glorious!

I need to know more about this, please: I’ve only been deported from a couple of countries and have only illegally sneaked into a few (although with Zimbabwe and Myanmar it was more than once).

Loved this blog. As someone, originally from Wrexham, Rhyl's Sun Centre was a real treat!!

Your frictionless movement to Spain and back, reminded me how depressing Brexit is.....on soooo many levels!

Get well soon! Covid is on the rise, again!

I haven't been able to think of it any other way for nearly two years now...most frustrating, but impossible to shift! Actually...since December 2020...I just checked: https://alastairleithead.substack.com/p/musical-pigs-bore-holes-and-hoarders?r=arta&s=w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Ha! I missed that post - but nice to see what I think is a Revox A77 tape machine - I too learned to cut tape on those at Bush House in the 80s…happy days!
