Crafty in the Med

I am here to enjoy meeting other bloggers and to share my love of craft ,mostly crochet, my thoughts and my daily happenings here in Alicante,Spain, my adopted country. I belong to a local choir because singing and music makes me happy. Flea markets and book shops are two of my favourite places to be. I read lots......sci´fi/fantasy,buried treasure, and off world adventures. I have a passion for history! I walk and walk and walk for about 10 months per year during the hot months I swim.

My Worst enemy is me!


I am my own worst enemy!!!   I really must learn to say NO!


Last Friday I gave my very first Public lecture (quite a learning curve!). It did not go as well as I had hoped! I was quite nervous at the beginning but when I got past the heebies jeebies stage and realised there were people behind the distant faces I was looking at it went better.

I plan to do another in April or May of next year!  I shall do it better next time!!! :-)



I'm preparing Macarrones con tomate (Pasta in tomatoe sauce) for lunch today (My Cookie Baby i.e grandaughter loves them) and ....horror of horrors.......
..oh! ...silly me I have to dash to the shop quick as I have no pasta!!!!  Be back in a tickle!!!


It came out something like this although I like to add mushrooms as well. It was demolished rather quickly and even Sr P who usually says he does not like pasta much said it was good.

Cookie Baby has now gone off to her Zumba class ... Sr P gone for his siesta so I have some quiet moments to correct exam papers. I deserve a nice hot cup of tea I think.

They say it is going to be a lovely weekend...they say it is like spring again...a very false spring but we plan to enjoy it all the same!

Taken from the castle last Sunday morning.



You may have seen similar photos to this that I have posted before. It is my favourite part of the castle!!!


Have a great weekend!

keep well

Amanda :-)
