Update from the Sally the heroine of Always Wright:
As the world waits to reopen Since all the terrible events that Michaela wrote about in the book, our lives have been turned upside down - not least as Grandma and I were trapped in England during the first COVID Lock Down - and this led to enough adventures to fill another book (which Michaela is planning for late 2022 - so sh...

Update from the Sally the heroine of Always Wright:
Looking Back There is so much going on in the news at the moment across all of Spain, I thought I would concentrate on looking back at happier times. I remember the first time I ever walked in the sunshine alongside the Mediterranean, hot sand underfoot and clear blue horizons ahead. One of my favourite places t...
Update from the Sally the heroine of Always Wright:
Today the sun is shining Contrary to most people's conception of Spain, it isn't sunny every day. In the winter we have dull days and cold days and high in the mountains we get snow. The most difficult days are the ones where it is sunny and warm outside and cold and shivery inside, as traditionally built properties have th...

Warm Days, Cold Sea The weather is amazing, it must have been around 23 Degrees Celsius today, which is warm for early Spring. The Mediterranean keeps its deep water temperature constant for most of the year, but the shallow waters are still too cold for me. So, unlike some intrepid souls I saw on the beach, today, I w...
Update from the Sally the heroine of Always Wright:
Always Wright! Sally Wright, the lead character in Michaela Orme's book series Always Wright writes an an occasional blog, with the same name, so it seems fair that it should find a home here. We hope you enjoy the meanderings of Sally and her boss.
http://www.orme.buzz/news/summer-life/
Summer Life I do so love the summers here in Puerto Amarillo or Amarillo Port, as the British call it. Not least as Lola serves a mean ice cream sundae. Served with Café Granizado - black sweet coffee ice - I can't think of anywhere else I would rather be today! Plus, afterwards, I can pop into the jewellery s...

Beach Life Most beaches along the port ban dogs - which, as the sea front fills with young families and children for most of the summer, is fair, probably more hygienic than with them and safer - as a lot of our locals keep hunting podencos, rather than pets. There are a few, however, that welcome dogs and the...
http://www.orme.buzz/news/windsurfing/
Windsurfing Actually, more accurately, not the Windsurfer. Lola's brother dragged me down with my camera to take shots of him and his friends from college, while they windsurfed. It was invigorating to watch and I had been prepared to have a go - until I saw how often they fell off and how rough even the Medite...

Photogenic Bees Just to prove that there is more than eating and drinking to my life in Spain (when I am not working), I decided to take my camera down to Lola's garden, the other day. She runs a local café on the seafront and we have become really good friends. She lives on the edge of port, on the same side as h...
http://www.orme.buzz/news/summer-lunch/
Summer Lunch I swear, I really am trying to diet, but, what can you do when a typical lunch here is fresh fruit, grapes, cheese and red wine - I am a sucker for cheese and wine, throw in fresh baked bread and Ali-oli and I am completely sunk. I would like to think that the fresh fruit and salads are good for my....
http://www.orme.buzz/news/market-day/
Market Day Today I wandered down to the market - so much noise - so many people - just amazing. Impossible to grasp how many people from how many different nationalities merge into the Costa Blanca summers to meet and chat loudly, in more languages than I can recognise. A lot of the market vendors are Spanish,...

Breakfast on the Balcony The first time I visited mother in the Flat that she and Dad moved to near the end, was just before he died. He was in palliative care at a local hospice and I saw him as much as I could, but coming back into the flat, just mother and me was strange and uncomfortable. I was thinking back the other d...

Very busy All week mother has been holed up in her studio, painting. Very is supposed to be resting, but she just can't get the hang of it. The subject is a young girl, all decked out in her Fiesta queen dress - I have to say that she looks absolutely stunning. I can't show you the dress, until Senorita Garci...
