A Walk of Two Halves
We see hydrangeas everywhere! There are one or two in the garden, but they have been tangled up in weeds so are a bit spindly. Ours have pink flowers, but both pink and blue grow wild. The photo is from…

The Rainbow Was Clearly the Clue….
We had to go to Burela so we thought we’d head down from to a town called Foz, which is our nearest big town. It’s population is about 10k people and it’s about 20km away from us. Being a larger…
