Yesterday was our fiesta here in Montenegro celebrating Nuestra Señora de Fátima. The skies weren't as blue as last year, but the sun did shine for us. Every year the fiesta follows the same pattern, but is still a bit different - it all depends on the day of the week that the 13th falls on. Last year was a Sunday so lots more people around and about a 100 or so came, yesterday was quieter and we noticed people leaving to go back to work after the service. Usually the pews stay outside the chapel and are used by the picnicers but this year they were put away and it seemed that there wouldn't be much of a gathering afterwards.
We shared food and drink with friends as usual, later on after we'd gone home we heard the sound of guitars and singing drifting down through the olive terraces.
Just this last few days the flowers of the variegated agaves have started to bloom, this one caught the sun this morning......
