Drive to Burela
I thought it might be fun to join us on a drive to Burela. Unfortunately, after a couple of minutes, I dropped my glasses, bit started falling off the car, the sun visor slipped down so I stopped! I will…
Gardening Part 2
Ian has been working really hard on our Huerta – which included piercing the waterpipe which runs under the garden – oops! But on the positive side, we now know we have an outside waterpipe with a working tap by…
Cervo
We had to go to the council offices last week in Cervo. Cervo is Galician for deer and this is the coat of arms. I’ve seen deer in the field now occupied by the horses, they were small but I…
Branch Sunday
We went to Viveiro (pooping nativity scene town) to watch their Domingo de Ramos parade. This translates as Sunday of the branches. The Semana Santa parades in Viveiro are famous and declared a fiesta of cultural interest. I don’t think…

Donacella’s Cave
We’d read about Donacella’s cave which is the other side of Viveiro (pooping nativity scene town). We had to go to the police station there to get our address changed on our residency cards (which didn’t happen), so we thought…
Sea Glass!
Our seaglass collection! It’s growing (and we have more in the house!) Oh, and if you look the big pebbley thing in the middle of the photo above (in front of the plant pots on the wall), Ian found it…
