Dear Blog Folk,
Here we are in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote. Above, the sight from our terrace this morning. Below our humble beach hut - Room 217:-
A morning stroll and this caught my eye - railings festooned with the padlocks of love. I wonder when and where the craze began. It never happened in my youth that's for sure. Padlocks were for sheds, school lockers and bicycles:-
Fond regards,

Such a beautiful place to visit, and those photos are great. Enjoy and best wishes!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr B. You are very kind..
DeleteYou preferred the hotel pool to the Sea? I wonder why!
ReplyDeleteLittle Franco looks sweet; unconscious of how nice his black fur contrasts with the white wall, the blue sea and the green hedge.
The padlocks of love I first noticed around 2008 I think, when I was in Cologne to work at the GamesCom. The railway bridge across the Rhine was full of them.
They are all over the world now. I wish I had invested in a padlock company ten years ago!
DeleteIt looks like a very nice vacation spot! Relax and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI shall obey Senator Barlow (SC).
DeleteI wish I were there too.
ReplyDeleteMaybe when the move to Leyburn is all done you can plan ahead for a sunshine holiday next year... perhaps with your friend W? I think the sophistication of Benidorm might suit the pair of you.
DeleteActually, if you look closely you'll see that there were four chaps/chapesses and if you'd listened carefully you'd have realised they had come to a conclusion.
ReplyDeleteYes. I should have looked more closely Graham. On the question of God's existence they..(BLOGGER TECHNICAL FAULT 375B.23)
DeleteEr, what does the sign in the first photo say and why is it pointing to the cactus?? I can guess what emergencia means but I do hope salida does not translate as call button.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful there; you have chosen well! Love that black cat.
Salida de Emergencia means Big Prickly Cactus.
Deletelol
DeleteLooks so relaxing Mr. Pud.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to slather the sunscreen on all important bits.
Will you be bring sticks of rock back ?
Enjoy.

Plenty of volcanic rocks here Jo but I haven't seen a single stick of rock and no donkeys on the beach either!
DeleteI like the photo Franco with the blue sea in the background. Careful you don't burn your feet on the hot sand.
ReplyDeleteRound the pool some tiles are creamy white and good for walking on but there are grey volcanic sections on which you could fry an egg. Ouch!
DeleteThe regards would be much fonder if you were taking a good swim in the sea!!!Maybe tomorrow you will dip your toe in the sea!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have to pay 12 euros for two sunbeds and a beach umbrella. You need that protection in the hot sunshine here Red - otherwise I would also be Red! Very Red! I might go in the sea today. We'll see or sea.
DeleteLooks very smart YP...have a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteThe hotel is marvellous and the food is excellent but Puerto del Carmen certainly isn't a quaint fishing village. No siree.
DeleteWe wish we there too.
ReplyDeleteGlorious! See! Black cats are lucky! So, too, are you and Shirley! Soak up the sunshine and the ambience! :)
