Beach Begging

This was a novel take on beach begging on the promenade at Estepona today. Not sure how much there was in that tin, but the kids loved her on this Three Kings day in Spain.

And what a stunning day it was. We took a long stroll along the Paseo Maritimo, soaking up the sun which I will leave behind me when I head off on Wednesday to begin my "Entry Island" book tour of the UK.

We headed back to the port for lunch, and my good lady snapped me straddling a capstan for her blip today. I must confess to a considerable reluctance to leave all this behind. But that has to be balanced by the fact that I always love going back to Scotland and meeting up with old friends.
