The first of this years potato crop were dug up yesterday, enough ready for 4 servings with mint and butter :) The first house martins are swooping around at sunset catching insects, the first little blue-tailed lizards darting around outside (they are about 10cm long with lovely bright tails)
- and the last lot of parsnips lifted from the ground yesterday.
Wednesday we finished Mondays tree, Thursday was extremely windy and we stayed indoors cooking for the freezer/ready meals, Friday we went to Ugijar to get some shopping, Saturday we had glorious sunshine and blue skies and did general outside stuff...pruned the palm trees, weeded the onions, house cleaned and put the carpets outside to air, planted more potatoes and 75 more onions and after lunch we went to visit a neighbour who is here for a couple of weeks from his home in Valencia. 3 hours later, after tasting his wine, we made it back here. We have 3 more terraces of olives to do that we didn't know about so that's next weeks work!! Plus, 5 more trees to cut, log and move...wow, that's a lot of firewood.
Today was our watering day again, so we washed the pool walls and rinsed it out, watered all the vegetables (the 5th lot of peas are up, as are the spring onions and radishes) picked baby spinach and rocket for a salad, and later on relaxed with a glass of wine enjoying the sun.
