Moorish Farmhouse, Orgiva, Spain
Another add-on to today's schedule with the start of the life coaching classes - the first day of "learn to relax", our stress management plan. So a very busy start to the day, with a trip down to Orgiva for bread and pastries first thing, followed by our second yoga class (at which I remembered a clock and so timed things better). Then brunch and the first theme class.
We have not yet really got a good idea of how much our guests will be wanting the life coaching or whether they will be more interested in sight seeng or crashing out by the pool. But today's class seemed to go as well as we hoped.
PM we have an interesting conversation with the head of a small PR firm who has seen our adverts, looked at the website a little and is keen to act for us. We had not really thought we woud go the route of employing a PR firm, but some parts of the marketing have proved very tricky for us (e.g. getting editorial coverage) and it seems that this is basically the service that we are being offered. They are preparing a detail proposal over the next week or so and I will have a ponder on it then.
While Linda teaches another Pilates class, this time with four locals, I prepped the paellas for tonight. The first is our regular meat and seafood paella, with chicken, prawns and chorizo. But the second is yet another variation on our vegetarian paella, this time featuring artichoke hearts, leeks and broad beans for a first time. We like to think that this is another showcase meal by us and is, as we thought the other night, clearly something that we can do to a better standard than the local restaurants. Nigel and Zoe came round again and we seemed to get their thumbs up for it. So things continue to progress well we think.
Paella night - a slightly chilly evening as we ate later than usual (10:00pm or so)
