After returning from Christmas and New Year in the UK, life in sunny Spain continues with the Careline panto, which this year is Jack and the Beanstalk. Instead of being part of the chorus, we are helping out as ‘front of house’ staff as we didn’t want the stress of 3 months of rehearsals this year, when we were busy with our own production ‘Aspects of Musicals’. It was also great to be able to see the panto from the auditorium for the first time.
The weather has been unusually warm and sunny this winter, so we have been enjoying our gardening and have resumed our trips into the mountains. We tackled the climb up to the castle at Castell de Castells at the head of the Vall del Pop, although we cheated somewhat by driving up to 900m and only walking the last 200m. The view from the peak down onto Guadalest in the next valley was awesome and well worth the effort getting there.
