Its been a busy time and I haven't blogged for a whole eight days!
Last weekend, we decided to have a change of scenery, a night out away from the village and it was just what we needed.
We took a trip down to Costa Adeje to an Irish bar at a commercial centre called The Duke Shops. We have visited during the day but never in the evening, as under usual circumstances we are too busy.
The two ground floors are full of high end stores along with a couple of restaurants, however go up to the first floor and you'll find The Bombay Babu Indian Restaurant, a couple of other eateries and right at the far end, The Irish Anchor.
My dad and I have a fascination about Irish bars and if ever we are on holiday together hopefully soon we will seek them out. This is one I will definitely be taking him to.
On this particular evening it wasn't so busy, sadly it was quite the opposite although I think when things get back to some kind of normal it will be one of the 'in' places to go. Eddie ordered a pint of Guinness and it didn't disappoint, I stuck to my usual glass of San Valentine although later I did opt for a baileys coffee which was I thoroughly enjoyed, it was served piping hot. I was given the option of whipped cream and seeing as though Saturdays are calorie free I said yes. The service from the staff was spot on and the drinks prices are very reasonable.
The bar has live music which was one of the reasons we wanted to go. They are a father and son duo called Special brew and having seen Ollie (the son) before, we knew they would be good. They both play guitar and sing although Ollies Dad John plays other instruments too.
They are the resident duo at the Irish Anchor and they appear six nights a week, I highly recommend you pay them a visit, you wont be disappointed. We spent a couple of hours watching them and we left feeling like we were almost on holiday, albeit for just a couple of hours.
I've had another project on the go this week as I've had a bee in my bonnet about writing and producing an original song, its certainly kept me busy. Usually when I want to record I will ask Eddie nicely and hope he will sit and produce what ever I record. This time I wanted to do it myself!
I now have a new found respect for sound engineers as it has certainly been a time consuming and long winded project. I am now nearly finished and I will posting for all to hear when it is complete.
Not much has changed over the last week with regards to Covid and restrictions. Our figures are dropping quite nicely now and Spain have said that people from Germany and The Netherlands can enter with a negative PCR test. Sadly for the UK we are still an Amber country which means you shouldn't travel here without good reason. We are keeping everything crossed that this may change soon as I believe that the UK might say that the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands will open to holiday makers. This would be brilliant as it would mean we could have the tourists back which we desperately need. In the meantime we sit with bated breath, crossed limbs and we hope!
Great blog xx
