First Visitor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi fans: you may be pleased to hear that I finally had my first visitor to Santander, none other than the legendary Smiler himself! Not only did he have to take time off work from HM Forces to visit and catch two flights over 2 days to get here, he even had the good manners to bring 250 of the finest PG Tips Pyramid Bags over to yours truely on the very day I ran out! Now that is what I call a true gentleman!

So I introduced the man himself to my buddies out here and everybody reported on what a thoroughly nice chap he is, not to mention that the ladies were also rather taken by his toned military physique as well! His visit luckily coincided with a 'warm snap' ; temperatures reached a dizzying 23 degrees Celcius (impressive for early March).

We made the most of the weather and enjoyed a goliath coastal walk around some of the most beautiful parts of the town's coast. During his stay he sampled the local nightlife and a few of the local restaurants, in addition to helping me discover the town's pool bar! He beat me 6-3, but considering he helped me locate the place for the first time, I shall forgive the old rascal.

Smiler: you are a legend! Cheers for the visit!
