More Galician flight worries!
Following on from the Ryanair news about the Liverpool to Santiago route, I wonder if this also places the new Clickair flights from Gatwick in jeopardy too?
Clickair are the budget wing of Iberia and, as a new “airline”, their timing has not worked out in quite the way that they must have hoped.
It seems that at the beginning of 2008, more and more options for direct flights to Galicia opened up, whilst now it seems that 2009 will see some of them disappearing again!
I just hope that we do not go back to the days of the “Iberia monopoly” with the unenviable options of £1,000 return flights to Santiago, or a connection via Madrid or Barcelona – the latter taking 8 or 9 hours and consequently wasting a day!
Patio heaters
I just thought that I would add a link to this page,
http://www.asturiasguide.com/garden-patio-heater.html, as it seems fairly pertinent at this time of year when we move out of the garden and into the house until the arrival of next spring.
It is a brief summary about patio/garden heaters which seem to have become very popular in the UK and which certainly extend the extent to which the garden can be used for social and entertaining activities. There are a couple of basic types, but you can find out more by visiting the page.
