A little colour from our Spanish yard, the breeze

A little colour from our Spanish yard, the breeze is lovely after a couple of days of heatwave, tomorrow we have storms. The seeds I planted a couple of days ago will need a little protection from the elements. Most of the seeds were old, there’s lots of herbs and few veggies. Fingers crossed at least some of them make it. Wish me@luck, I don’t have much experience planting from seed and keep checking every day to see if there’s anything there yet!

An early morning gift freshly picked by our neighbours, the generosity of everyone around this small village since we moved in has been wonderful. Now I’m thinking of making some #fridgepickles do you know a good recipe? #livinginspain #organic #locallygrown

We have been settling into our new home, with gift

We have been settling into our new home, with gifts of #potatoes, #fresheggs and #onions from our new neighbours we are feeling very welcome here. For those that have been wondering we are still renting, with restrictions it’s been difficult to find our forever home and we don’t want to rush into anything so we have found a longer term rental. We are in part of an old #cortijo with this huge yard which is perfect for the animals. We are still in the #Almeria region of #andalucía but further inland in the mountains. We have found a small hamlet a 10 min drive from #oria. Now we can relax and find our feet. #settleinspain #settling

A spot in the shade for #afternooncoffee in our new #Spanishhome, we are still renting in #Andalucia just a little further in the hills outside #Oria feeling very lucky to have landed in a little piece of paradise during these crazy times around the world, how’s your view looking today?
