General stories from Alan Morris.

These articles contain my weekly diary entries, my bucket list, my food recipes & other things that I find interesting. Along with general information about the place that I live in & frequent in Los Alcázares. They also contain my often told stories of how I have met 'celebrities' during my travels, memories of my past that sometimes come flooding back to me & the occasional joke or three.

I hope you enjoy reading about my interests & that if you disagree with some of my opinions in this section of my website, it won't stop you from buying me a coffee when you see me next. Who knows you could one day end up as a character in one of my stories.

Alan Morris in Cordoba.

This week begins in the Hotel Selu in Cordoba, Andalucia. I have gone for a short trip there to see the Patio Festival, where lots of households open up the courtyards of their homes to visitors to see their wonderful flower displays.

This week was most notable for the loss of my friend & neighbour Russ Morgan. His favourite saying was 'It's nice to be nice' & he was certainly a nice man. He was always available when I needed any help & kept all his friends laughing with his stories & tales of his adventures in the Dominican Republic last year. RIP Russ, you will be missed.
