Christmas cheer

CHRISTMAS is coming, and here at the Olive Press we are already looking forward to 2013.

The events of the last few months are still very much in the minds of many expats – in particular the fires and the heavy rains – with many still struggling to get some kind of normality back.

Christmas cheer is getting stronger each day, with belenes already in place and the mulled wine flowing.

Now it is time to consign 2012 to the past and look forward to brighter times.

Let’s hope this year, Andalucia’s Three Kings – who, according to the Pope himself (and he must know!) came from Andalucia and not the Middle East – bring the best gifts this year.

Gifts which will help Andalucia recover from its annus horribilis and keep 2013 free from disaster.
