At this time of the year the weather is generally good although temperatures may fluctuate a lot - sounds like a stock market report - prices may go up or down! Last Friday we woke up to 14 degrees and got to a high of 22, then a few days later it was 4.5 first thing in the morning and frost on the ground, we struggled to about 10 degrees that day. Although the air temperature in the shade isn't so good, out in the sun it's wonderful. We're able to work and walk in sleeveless t-shirts between 11 and 5 - after that it's chilly.
This morning was a bit cloudier that we'd expected so outside painting jobs are waiting for a really clear day, that gave me some spare time so I took the dogs out intending to go for a longer than normal walk this afternoon. We went in the direction of El Golco, although after half an hour we turned round and came back. Monty has just had his 12th birthday - 12 dog years are 84 human ones, and he is slowing down a lot. The bounce has gone, he is always behind us plodding along and I don't want to stress him too much. So less distance now for our walks.
The hills either side of the path are covered in rosemary bushes and all in full flower and buzzing with bees. Occasionally a bright yellow gorse bush pops out - sort of like the sun in the blue sky.
At the point where we turned round to come home are the remains of a building, I'm guessing a shelter for animals once upon a time, many years ago by the look of what is left. Certainly needs some work doing!
From here you are looking forwards to El Golco....
and if you look backwards, there is Montenegro with Sierra Gador in the background.
