Sheila came back yesterday and today we joined a German group for a hike to the necropolis at the public estate Son Real. This is not far from us, but we had never been there. For many centuries, the necropolis was the grave yard for the upper classes on the island, today there are empty graves with a view. The weather was great, and of course we went for a long lunch afterwards.

Sheila left for Manchester and I will be alone in Mallorca for a few days. Time to play golf and deal with a few other things I have not had time for up to now. Tonight was a beautiful sunset, the forecast for this week is sunshine but cold (8-12 degrees Celsius max).

After all the guests have left, we now have some time for our Mallorcan friends. Today, sixteen of us met for lunch at our place after church. The weather was perfect, everybody brought something and we had a great time.

We wish all a happy and blessed new year 2019. We celebrated into it with Jenkins who are staying close by. Today we have calm and sunny weather, a teaser for the calmas de enero, which usually occur in the middle of January. Sheila took the kayak for a spin to enjoy the weather.

We returned to Mallorca today, it is sunny and warm here. Feels very good to sit on our quiet patio after all the Christmas excitement. In the background is the castle of La Fortaleza, where parts of the series the Night Manager were filmed. The film contains some beautiful shots of Pollenca Bay with the views we enjoy from our patio.

We are in Siegelbach for the holidays and all went to the ice rink today. First time on skates for some of the kids, but they did well. Pizza afterwards was quite nice too.

Klaus hat eine Gans gekocht, da sind wir nach Kirchheimbolanden gekommen. Es war ein schöner Abend, und die Gans hat sehr gut geschmeckt.

Heute sind wir mit Matthias und Petra und Siegfried und Maike zwölf Kilometer im Tal von Soller wandern gegangen. Das Wetter war ideal, wir sind durch Fornalutx, Biniaraix und Soller gelaufen. Zum Abschluss haben wir in Port de Soller gut gegessen, jetzt ruhen wir uns erstmal aus.

We celebrated Sheila’s birthday with a nice long lunch in Santa Maria with friends from Germany and Mallorca. After that we strolled through Palma which is all decorated for Christmas already.
