What a view!

Yesterday morning's walk was a bit shorter than our usual round trip to Yegen,   cold wind and cold showers,   started off alright but the further we went the more the wind blew the drizzle under my hood and when it started to drip off onto my nose I decided enough was enough.  It's alright for dogs,  they seem to get wet, shake every 100 metres or so,  but don't get any wetter.   Whereas I just wasn't enjoying myself.   Early morning walks are lovely,  and usually a good way to wake up and enjoy the start of the day.

Today however was back to normal.  Clear skies and sunshine and although only 4° on the terrace,  when there isn't any wind you don't notice the chill so much.

This is the view looking back towards some of the cortijos of Montenegro on the right,  with the Contraviesa in the distance,  taken at 8.23 this morning. 



The flower pictures from the other day........been looking in my books and then online and found this one is a freesia.  It's not totally wild,  you can see the irrigation pipe,  it's growing in the flower beds outside the cemetery at Yegen,  or was.  Most of them this morning have gone,  cut off,  probably  for flower arrangements on a grave.  Still lots of buds left though for others to enjoy when they bloom again.
