Trees and Rocks

The area around the village has lots of rock outcrops, in fact parts of the village are built on them also and there are also trees of weird shapes due to pruning over the years.

Walks with The Brute

Today went above the village to the south. It is another warmish sunny day, warmer climbing than coming down, when the breeze felt cold.

Nico enjoyed himself, as usual, no more obedient than normal though.

You never know that might happen as he gets older.

I saw my first wild orchids of the year today and a few more wild flowers starting to open also.

The last picture is the village i live in.

Walks with El Bruto

i have a new dog, a 10 month old GSD named Nico and i have to take him for longer walks than with my old dogs who were both old when they died

Today was a about a six mile walk in "the Campo" just north of the village

R.I.P. Bessie

My beloved Dog Bessie died today almost 15 years old. She was in no pain just had a heart attack and was dead 3 hours later.

Life will seem empty for me Sas, our other dog and Karen my wife.

Rolling Stones in El Ejido

I have just got my ticket for this, still can't believe they are playing only 45 mins from home, in El Ejido of all places.

The last time i saw them was 1970ish
