On Sunday we're

you'll find an eclectic
mix of cakes and
savouries to eat in or

'always-on' tapas
menu that's not always

Our sunny garden is
growing to twice the
size to accommodate
the happy olive tree
we planted all those
years ago. The garden
will also sport a new
grill and bar, more
tables, much nicer
chairs and, to top it all,
a sail to keep the
weather out.
