S&A Visit!

Sue and Andy came to visit last week. They flew to Bilbao, and then worked their way to us via Lugo and Santiago Compostella. We went to a few places including Cathedral beach – which was crazy busy with people…

Snails etc

Snails are much more active here than the snails in Extremadura who just used to hang round in clumps waiting to be harvested. Snails were also a very common meal there, and I don’t think so much here. We’d see…

Amethyst?

Well, I don’t know! It definately is a type of quartz, I think, and I can’t imagine what else it would be. It’s too big to put in the tumbler, but I’d be quite interested to polish part of it…
