A taste of Spain..........

The worst thing about having friends coming back from a holiday is that you have to sit through the holiday snapshots - well, you didn't think you were going to get away did you?

Here is the pool of the villa, where I spent a lot of time floating about on that inflatable armchair, reading my book...........................that white wall on the left was the one that the late, unlamented rat family used as their exercise bar......

this gorgeous Bougainvillea grew up one wall, and the petals used to drift into the pool - so pretty

I love the way all the roofs in Spain are tiled in these terracotta domed tiles..........

and they use ceramic tiles a lot as well, look at the gorgeous blue tiled dome of this church, in a little town called Altea

something else I love, the way trees are planted to form shady avenues for you to walk along......

We had a fair bit of Sangria...............

look at these gorgeous pots, drying in the sun, and just crying out to be splashed with bright slashes of colour.......................

I wonder how passion fruit tastes when it is dried? I bet it is a very intense flavour..............

The mountain scenery was spectacular

I am always very taken with the lamps attached to buildings, that often take the place of boring lamposts.........

This is a view from the top of a hill village called Guadalest. The water is a reservoir, and yes, it really was that colour

The sandals and everything else are unpacked, I will be back at my craft table tomorrow, see you then
