Quite remarkable! I am sure that our noses don’t normally look like that. However here is a nice pic of Ian, that is the surfing beach at Marosa which we can just see right at the right hand side of…

A family of cows/bulls appeared in the field behind us. I hope they stay longer than the horses, who escaped after a couple of days. It is nice to see them though from the back of the house. Fishy Picnic…
