Adventures, wildlife, and life in the Alpujarras
Having given up on the top veggie terrace a long time ago, I didnt even bother to remove old veg, broccoli of various types, potatoes etc. Well ive been up to the terrace and investigated what was happening up there, and things have grown!
Yesterday we ventured out in between the rain to go buy some plastic to try and stop the leaks in the house. It is then that we noticed our neighbours land was on the move and was partially blocking our drive.
So there we are in the kitchen, Richard is asking if we have a smaller jug to put the olive oil in, the 5 litre bottle is no that easy to manoeuvre oil into yorkshire pudding trays
So I thought I would tell you the dogs have their very own blog called Tails from the Pack. Go take a look at it its rather good even if I do say so myself.
Chickens, Mules and two old fools is the title of a book I recommend you to read
Wow Khumbu is 3 today, does this mean my Siberian Husky may actually have matured, not a chance!
We stayed in on New Years eve so we could wake up fresh for our early start on New Years day. The plan was to go to Puente Palo and climb to the 3005m summit of Cerrillo Redondo in Spain’s Sierra Nevada mountains.
My last post about the weather here in Andalucia was written before the great deluge that arrived on our town of Lanjaron on 24th December, yes Christmas Eve. We recorded a massive 81mm of rain on that day!
Having basked in temperatures of 18C for the first 15 days of December and having a never ending summer, its now been raining here in Andalucia since the 16th December!
We had to go in and extract a client who had very bad blisters, so we took the Khumbu and Bruno with us for a day out.
This post is written as seen through Khumbu's eye's! I'm Khumbu, you will probably have heard about me, im a nearly 3 year old male Siberian Husky who loves to run, dig, talk, jump and destroy.
Ive just returned from a weeks holiday in Mallorca, what a great little island it is. We landed in torrential rain, gale force winds, thunder and lightning!
New camera lens - best picture by me so far has been this beautiful female Dragonfly she is a Southern Hawker (Aeshna cyanea)
We all know Khumbu loves the pool and this Siberian Husky's latest game is to take the floating chlorine dispenser out of the pool and try to destroy it without getting caught.
So the veggies are not doing great this year, its not just us but most people in town, no idea why, maybe a bad moon?
It is with a sad and heavy heart that I have to write this post, my good friend Bob Redwood passed away on 31st August 2009 after suffering with brain tumours for 2.5 years.
