What do you miss?

[Belladonna]

Crikey Debz - suffering from jetlag?! You obviously couldn't resist the pull of the posts!

Now, no cryptic comments from you please, just give us the facts and views on whats really going on out there!

Glad to have you back, my phone bill can go back to normal again!

Also miss Tangos at the old place, we always went at least once a holiday and loved to sit in the garden with the kids, the owner was always so friendly with his chirpy noise, my son got quite good and copying him, and he used to come over and pretend to be cross that he was doing it, happy days, must try to get up to the new location.

No garden in the new location sws, but still worth a visit.

Especially if you can get a window table, the view across the bay is wonderful.

Ahh - Tots - sad to see it has shut. It used to be our favourite restaurant for a well priced meal and their mixed grill was legendary.

It was always worth the wait for a table, those people waiting all lined up against the walls of the houses opposite - hoping that the next table to come free would be the right size for their party!

We used to really enjoy watching the old boy who lived opposite trying to manouver his car in and out of his garage without ploughing into half a dozen tables of horrified diners It got to the point when he got older that the waiters had to move tables out of the way for him!!

Maybe not this time as we only have a week, but if I have my way and we start coming more often through the winter, it will be a great place then inside with the view especially on a stormy day.

And most of the time he tried to overcharge, never once the price in the window

True - just about every time I visited Mr Grumpy there was some attempt by him to over charge. Whenever I drew his attention to it he just shrugged and gave me the extra change that I was due. It was almost like he had a sort of "win some lose some" attitude!

Ah, the Mojitos! Now you're talking. Will definately be sampling those in a few weeks to find the best one!

As i reported in my diary on the Tapas Bar my daughter in law was well impressed with the Mojitos made by Lee in Nostalgia.

[Belladonna]

He owes me big time as last time I went he didn't have all the ingredients to make one! I will definately be checking up on him this time tell him!

I miss the shop where Bernard Hamilton now is bought some nice bits in there over the years to bring home

[Sparky]

We miss the kitchen/hardware shop where Nico's is now, over the years we bought a few condiment sets (cheaper than the market), you could buy spare lids and bottles for them as well. We also bought tapas forks and other cutlery there which we ended up bringing back out when we moved here .
