House still available for Scottish "Easter"

The Western Church's Easter and "Spring Break" in Glasgow and the surrounding area are no longer inextricably linked, so families with children around our way are preparing for a fortnight's damage limitation starting this Friday, April 4th. We were booked during what everyone else refers to as the Easter Holidays (or Semana Santa), but the house is free for the coming fortnight. So if you're from the West of Scotland and you fancy a break in a lovely house in a pretty village amongst breathtaking scenery, an hour and 15 minutes away from Granada (and just over an hour from Glasgow's overseas colony of Nerja) during the used-to-be-Easter-but-now-we-don't-know-what-to-call-them holidays, contact me immediately and I'll give you a very good rate. Or, if you really want to emulate Spring Break traditions, go to Cancun, get drunk and dance in a bikini.
Spring Break, not in Juviles.

Easter in Berlin

Just for a change, we went somewhere other than the Alpujarra for Easter Weekend. Namely, Berlin. As this is casasierra and not berghaus, I won't go in to detail, but it is a fantastic city and I'd recommend it highly. We stayed in funky Prenzlauer Berg, not far from the Fernsehentum (pictured), ate currywurst and marvelled at the astonishingly efficient public transport system. I drank lots of beer, and managed to half forget our wedding anniversary.

It's the first time in almost three years we've been abroad to somewhere that wasn't the Alpujarra. Simultaneously, someone else was staying in our house in Juviles, and paying us money to do so, hurrah. A few more bookings and we can spend more time in interesting alternative places. On the other hand, I can't wait to get back to Granada in late June. God, it's more than twelve weeks away....
