Marbella storms and nationwide powercut!

Welcome to episode 60 of Marbella with Him & Her, your number one Marbella lifestyle podcast!

The week started with Hannah's trip to Bootcamp Pilates (@bootcamp_pilates_estepona) in Estepona where she has now committed to 6 weeks of reformer Pilates (updates to follow).

It was a hectic week from that moment onwards. Their beautiful cat Poppy had not eaten or drunk any water for a few days so they arranged for a vet appointment Monday afternoon. Meanwhile the Iberian Peninsula and France was hit by a major power outage which also took down the mobile networks. It meant no tests were possible for poor Poppy and Hannah and PJ were not able to contact each other. After a few hours Hannah arrived home and they both took Poppy to the vet. Listen to the podcast for the full update on Poppy and how she is.

As a result of the power outage Hannah was not able to do all interviews she had arranged, one of which was with last year's Race Across The World winner Alfie (@_alfiewatts_) That is now re-arranged but she still did some other great interviews. She spoke to Tasha Ghouri (@tashaghouri) from Love Island and runner up in last years Strictly Come Dancing, she also interviewed a world famous sword swallower, and Alison Arngrim who played Nellie in Little House on the Prairie.

Hannah's father Bernie directed a comedy poetry reading evening for a theatre group called THESPA which was a huge success.

This week has seen once again some biblical weather with torrential rain and thunderstorms.

Hannah and PJ were happy to have Mandy and Orlando stay with them who had flown over from Miami to go to the feria in Rota. They took some time out from their busy schedule to go to Hannah's quiz at the Hogan Stand before heading back to Rota. You will recall that Mandy Urena co-hosted the podcast with PJ when Hannah was in India.

Hannah went to a lovely get-together at La Sala in Puerto Banus arranged by Sal Williams. It was to remember her late husband Mel and to get people together that had not seen each other for a while, as well as giving some thoughts to those that are no longer with us.

Sur in English articles this week include the fact that Malaga with become an epicentre for gastronomy in November for an event by Michelin Guides. They also discuss the town in Jaen where you can buy a property for as little at €15,000.

There are also many other fun things they discussed so please listen and don't forget you can follow Hannah at @radiohannah and PJ at @pjlopez1marbella
