Well it would seem I am up and running now - so I'll try again .......
It's so sad that the forum is so quiet at present but I suppose if it's not Covid related there's nothing much else to write about (and we are all sick of that aren't we?). I look forward to our usual stay in CdS over winter, if it happens. We've already had our EasyJet flights cancelled (refund received - thank you). We've now booked with good old Ryanair. Our booked apartment is ready and waiting for us, so we are trying to stay positive. Only 85 sleeps. If we have to spend 14 days in quarantine when we get there then so be it. We are still coming, unless all flights are cancelled of course. There's always shopping online and a nice balcony where we can enjoy a slurp or two in the sun. Quarantine when we get home - not a problem, one of the joys of being retired I suppose. So come on everybody - let us know what you are up to - keep our chins up and our wonderful forum going. We are all here for each other.
It would be great to hear from some of our members who are already there, either living there or on holiday at present. Let us know you are enjoying yourselves. Now where would you rather be - it's a no brainer for me.
Love to you all. Onwards and upwards
(Thank you for your earlier reply BT. Hope you are well and staying safe xxx)

Annie fingers crossed you make your trip in December, our friends are at boarding gate right now flying Ryanair to Malaga staying as long as they can, another friend went out in August for 2 weeks, and is now staying on until just before Xmas flying home with Ryanair, she's having a great time, getting out everyday & evening something she cannot do at home, so Benal is still drawing folks in, have seen posts re Nerja with lots of bars still open, so waiting for you after 84 sleeps I have checked Jet 2 for flights end of Feb and they are flying, i know things may change but if Covid allows we are flying out as planned, but keeping to 89 nights, not read anywhere of a visa to stay any longer now and hard to find Ins for more than 90 days..but i am looking.. B.T is going out next month so looking forward to her posts, and hopefully yours over Xmas..Stay safe..xx

Hi B.T yes my friend Val went to her apt for 10 days early August and is still there staying until Xmas, she is 79.... eight years my senior but she has so much energy, we call her a recycled teenager, such a lovely lady, she used to run a pub down south with her late hubby, the Kray twins along with many other known gangsters used to call in the pub for a drink she has so many stories to tell, has a heart of gold, does loads for charity, she has a scooter to get all along the paseo, takes taxi's up to Arroyo, Bonanza area for quizzes, and enjoys cocktails most evenings in Buddy's bar, Shane the owner will see her safely round to her apt when bar closes.. Another 2 friends arrived safely at Malaga 16.10 yesterday with Ryainair, less than 60 on board, so 1/3rd capacity, i know all airlines are cutting flights to maybe 1 per week, and due to UK quarantine Jet 2 will not fly into Malaga, but with Covid still on the rise cannot see Boris lifting any rules yet....however i hope your flight next month goes ahead as i am looking forward to your daily log, hope for anyone else wanting to go, that your flight takes off..and my Xmas wish is for Covid gone or a vaccine..I'm too old to put my life on stop!! If our flight in Feb is still going from B'ham to Malaga we will be on it, and spread our euro's around Benal for 3months.. Stay safe xx

Lovely to hear from you on the Forum Rosebush and thank you for your personal message. I guessed your friend is Val!! I've been following her on Facebook Benalmadena Social group and she is clearly having a fabulous time! Pleased your friends arrived okay yesterday. We are out of quarantine today.....hurrah! Was it worth it......definitely!! 😍😍 Off for my flu jab today!! Blooming cold in Essex which is a bit of a shock after it reached the upper 70's on Monday and Tuesday. Winter draws (or should that read drawers) on!!! Kind regards to all, BT. X
