Comment on Seville and Semana Santa by Val

I’ve not been in touch for a while, but these pictures of Seville remind me so much of Palma, including the cathedral, that I couldn’t let them pass by…

You take great pictures, too. I particularly love the one of the decorative iron gate – beautiful. And Spanish courtyards are reat, aren’t they?

I don’t like the sound of the colonic irrigation – are you planning to introduce your visitor, Ann, to it then??!!

The walks look great, though… and a good way to keep warm in your unseasonably cool spells.

The advanced Spanish sounds a good idea – I’m sure you’ll get a lot out of it (as long as you have a good enough teacher that is).

It’s lovely to see the pair of you enjoying yourselves. It’s just like John and I used to be!
Have good students, and a fellow practice teacher and I support each other, both being off site.

I love it! What a lot of work, however. I have to give them credit for their future vision.

Sounds very interesting, Ann. I bet Julie and John were glad that walk was over. I would be interested in a group like that. I might look around our area for such a group. I know we have them, I just have not sought them out. Thanks for sharing your experience.

La Nucia certainly sounds welcoming… Do I take it this is where you’re now living/the nearest big town/city?

You’ll be starting a university course next, then?

Hi Mum, great to hear your adventures once again. Mingling with the great and good, sounds like you are both getting in with the locals there. Plus you have the Holy grail of public information in your hands. We shall follow your tales with keen interest. Keep it up. Love Graham and Sadie and Lucy xxx

Hi,
just catching up on the entries!

Glad you are settling in after such a difficult trip, and re-making previous friendships.

I admire your friends’ vision, and sincerely hope they achieve it.

Can’t wait for the next blog, it’s almost as good as being there, you obviously have talent for it Ann,

Comment on SPAIN SECOND TIME AROUND by Val

Hi Ann (and Michael)

Good to hear from you. Glad you got away without too much hassle, and (wickedly) that it’s not all sunshine over there, given our conditions until yesterday over here!! Now we have a thaw, but with the possibility of more snow on Wednesday…

I joined Michael as one of the walking wounded last Monday when I slipped on black ice in Bradford and sprained my (left) wrist (fortunately no broken bones. But it has stopped me doing some things (driving, decorating) and slowed me down in doing many others.

However, it’s nothing compared with the problems of Haitians.

glad to see you are ending on a high note. Look forward to meeting up again and hearing more about the camping. I’ve been busy laying flags and re arranging the garden, painting my new fence and gate. I’m quite pleased with the result, and no-one to tell me I’ve missed a bit!

see you soon,
Marjorie
