Spain week four, day seven

Friday May 23rd, 2008

Hacienda, Villamartin, Spain

Jonathan's last day with us before he travels on to Cordoba and then Granada. He seems to have had a great time this week and is really pleased with how it has gone and the progress he has made in the areas he wanted to.

So it is our last yoga class as a trio and another really nice class. It is sunny first thing and we can do the class on the main terrace but it does start to cloud over soon afterwards and we have another grey day.

Our last session of the "learn to relax" course is our wrap up summary. Everyone has things to say about what they will do going forward. Ellie is thinking seriously about learning to teach Tai Chi. This is one of her great loves and having the time here to think has really motivated her. Everyone else has their own ideas for the future.

Then its off to Seville with Jonathan. Ellie and Kate have also decided on a short trip to Seville and follow behind us till we lose them in traffic. Our journey goes ok though there are a few moments when we have little idea where we are and we are held up by several accidents on the way. We drove passed the famous Plaza de Espana where I noticed it was quite easy to park. That could be a good thing to know forwhen we want to have a day out there.

Our planned meeting with Eve at Seville station goes surprisingly well and Jonathan is in plenty of time for his train. I have really enjoyed getting to know Jonathan over the week and really hope that things work out for him as he hopes.

Ellie and Kate are back around 6:00 with tales of fine dining in Seville, so they don't want much for tea. Our last yoga class of this week and we are back on the side terrace under cover. Now there are just two class participants as we end the week with a lovely restorative class. Ellie has gained several inches of flexibility over the week and Kate looks great as an expectant mum doing yoga. She has a beautiful strong and straight back which I'm sure will really help as she goes through the next few months.

We have one last fire in the main lounge and play a card game called "Uno" that Kate knows and teaches us all. A gentle end to the week it seems.

Then Kate discovers very late that she is actually on a plane at 9:30am not 2:30pm and so our plans for tomorrow will be redically changed. Only a tiny last minute hiccup!
