Lost soul.

I'm feeling a bit like a lost soul right now after returning from a nice holiday at the Fiestas in Benidorm which was really up tempo, to come back to grey Britain.

Saw great live music from Orquesta Birmania...

These guys above were on a professional stage in one of the main streets and were a real treat.

There were lots of things happening in the old town including live music at some of the Penyas. We came across this singer and guitarist on a back street and they were fantastic, a great voice and a massive catalogue of music covering Spanish Pop to Led Zeppelin! Great entertainers with boundless energy.

The end of the Fiestas are marked with a giant firework display on Pontiente beach.

The day after the Spanish events is the Brits Fancy Dress Street Party in Benidorm New Town which, this year, was attended by an estimated 25,000 holidaymakers many of whom donned costumes and joined in the fun from just before lunchtime continuing right into the night at the many bars.

So, why a lost soul?

Well, as the opportunities for well paid work here are pretty dismal and the trucking industry continues in a downward spiral to the lowest possible wages the option of going back to Canada is very tempting , but after seeing our granddaughter most weekends it would be very hard for Cath to make a move again, even for a short term of 2 years, so... who knows what will happen in the future?
