Dropping grumpchild no 4 off and a quick slight detour to get some fresh local milk and proper butter from a vending machine.

couple of quid for the reusable bottle and 1.60 litre of fat inducing milk

A few live aboard staying a few days.

Windy today there’s waves on t cut.

Lovely adolescent swan.

I just liked this access bridge. It only goes from the farm on the south side to their fields on the north side.

Lovely pheasant.

Finally a sneaky peek in someone’s garden at their snowdrops.

They will need all the help they can get rebuilding that. Bob.

This was only planted around one week ago.

First lambs. Born we think yesterday evening. Mum looking content.

Lots of new trees being planted.

Rubbish picture of a raptor hovering. Maybe a Buzzard, looked a bit big for s kestrel.

This area is a disused golf course that’s now a scout campsite and activity area. Hope they get use it this year.

A tree planted last year.

Out on the bikes today around a couple of our miradores at the top of Ambola beach used by naturists sometimes, but not today hopefully.

Janie and Izzy went down the 266 steps, while I watched the bikes while sun bathing drinking coffee and eating cake.

I'm up there.

Another day in paradise. Bob.

They're on an old golf course on the North side of the Aire valley between Riddlesden and Silsden.

I have just read about that area on Wikipedia and it sounds lovely. I toured around Bradford, Skipton, Keighley, etc a few years ago so I may have done the Aire Valley. I love the stone walls and buildings.

Haha, seems like it was about that time. Shame that one as was in 2nd place on the last stage. Navigator called flat right, he tells lies.

 

[bobnick]

The main reason we are here. They grow so quickly eh. He's a big lad for his age 17 mths.
Will miss Alec when we have to go home.

 

[Northern Boy]

Temperatures rise above 0 for the first time in 3 months.

Released from the clasp ice and snow

The driveway is still a bit slippery but I can see grass!!!

You will definitely have been up Airedale. Keighley and Skipton are both in Airedale.
Airedale starts at the foot of Malham cove. This is the source of the river Aire it joins the Wharfe at Leeds eventually flowing into the Humber and North Sea.

My boys, happy in their mobile kennel on a trip to Lake Vassivierre, France, where we were visited by a group of Harley riders and the view through our windscreen each morning.

This recently?? No lockdown in Froggyland?.

Spring is definitely on its way, new growth everywhere.

No more lambs yet but some of these expectant mums look like they’re about to go pop.

This mud was under about 200/300mm of snow a few weeks ago.

Strange place for a Black waste dump?

Can’t believe how quickly this has become so green.

 

[movan]

Can't wait until I have the real little person with me.

 

[Smudger55]

Our Ralf has been in the wars today, hurt his shoulder playing ball, he's getting old now, 13 nearly. Light duties for a couple of weeks.

 

[bobandjanie]

Today's walk in the Jalon valley, I think the olive trees are probably older than JJ . Bob.

 

[Landy Andy]

Afternoon off so out on the bike.

All the places you picture i can relate to as we had a plot in Altea-La-Vella for many years so was up and around the area, Calpe, Jeavea, Moriara, Jalon all the time.
never did get around to building and sold at the same time we sold the villa in Busot.

 

[MR BLO]

Only 2 more weeks of homeschooling left whoop whoop .
Doris giving Arch some moral support yesterday

We love this part of Spain, we first came to Javea in 98 at that time renting villas, then in 2007 we got a motorhome and that winter when we got to Javea stayed a month, then carried on round the coast, the following years the stays got longer, the more people we got to know the longer we stopped until it was 5 months on the site we sold up in 2013 and after 2 years wandering decided to buy here.

It had to look after itself and be an attractive holiday rental, after looking at villas we decided on a apartment very close to everything, and it has everything we wanted, my brother and his family have stayed a few times and he said it's the first holiday they have had, where he can have a drink in the past he rented villas here they come end of August/ September so also had the problem of trying to park .
For us its perfect when it hot we like snorkelling, other times walking and cycling we are spoilt for choice and of course the micro climate makes it so much better. Bob.

Not a special photo to anyone but me...... First time driven my van for MONTHS. So nervous but oh such a lovely feeling through the windscreen.
