It's autumn in Spain, we're on the road again

[Peavy]

Let's hope you two are back on the road again soon.
By the way, the Canyon bike is also bad ass

Some of our longest known Spanish friends are coming here for lunch today. As a treat I'm cooking a traditional British meal, not something I do often. So we're having a cottage pie with some mixed veggies on the side! They'll sit and wait and watch us to see how we eat it

We knew them "before kids" and watched the kids grow. One of my favourite photos of us in Italy, I think, when the kids were kids. Now they're young adults and doing their own thing. Marta at Uni and Manu in the army.

Happy days

cottage pie with some mixed veggies

That sounds delicious!

That's my shopping bike

Ok, but I bet it's a good one I like the black and white aesthetics.

We had a lovely day yesterday. I met a fellow bike riding, motorhomer, via Facebook three or more years ago. We met up 2 years ago and had a nice time. I have chats with her fairly regularly via Messenger. They are here in Totana now so yesterday we went to meet them and take them for a Espuña ride. Andrea and John are good company and loved the ride we took them on. Andrea was forever missing as she stopped to take photos. She's sent me numerous photos and thanked us profusely. I said they were nice people didnt I. .

They were considering doing the ride again to savour it, but I've sent her another one to do. I'll hear later how they get on.

So most of these photos are hers.

Aledo where we once hoped to live.

In a house just left of the tower.

In those rocks there's a tiny hole with a tiny shrine

Tomorrow we're going to Lorca for Richard gus-lopez to give Martin a hand with the new rooflight. If all goes well it looks like we'll be back out on the road. The toilet/water leak seems to be sorted now .

So, if all goes to plan I think I'll start a new thread. Something like ...

Spring into summer in Spain.

That'll give me scope to go on until after our summer trip.

I'll try to be more informative and to reduce the photos of bikes on dusty terraces

Do you have destination already planned?

Do you have destination already planned?

The destination will be Galicia again for the hottest part of the summer. We haven't yet decided how we're going to get there. Last year was Cantabria and Asturias. We quite fancy going through Andalucia and into Portugal, but it all depends how hot it is there early in the summer.

You should go, it's lovely and not steaming hot in summer.

I agree

I've only been walking around the golf complex today whilst Martin finished off preparation work for fitting the rooflight tomorrow.

There has been one good result of the recent rain in Spain. As I predicted, we've got some lovely wildflowers.

I had to laugh……..you two looking ready for a polar expedition and your guests look like they’re heading to the beach

New thread started

Spring into summer in Spain

My last thread was Autumn and it's still been running. However, I've recently noticed that spring has sprung. It's been a long, wet, winter this year but that has now given us some beautiful wildflower colours. So this thread starts today. Once I've cleaned the van of debris from yesterday's...
