This week’s set of images come from Andalucia in Southern Spain.
Thanks to Nat at Threads & Bobbins for the weekly blog series which includes seven photos summing up your week.
1. Our view for a fortnight.
2. Selfie with Mr. H-L at sunset with the Andalucian mountains as a backdrop – beautiful!
3. This wonderful mare, Honey, was my mount for an hour as we trekked through the mountain paths. Such a gorgeous horse!
6. Cantering up the last rise and…I fell!
4. Fun in the pool.
5. More knitting at siesta time.
6. The Boys had their first experience of pony trekking which was, luckily, less ‘eventful’ than mine!
7. Seafood Paella for lunch today – cooked by Faustino at one of our regular haunts, Bar La Cinta.
Yum!
And a jug or two of Sangria to wash it all down!

Sunshine, paella and sangria. Too much for me to bear in frozen Yorkshire. What a wonderful time.

I’m hoping Summer will have arrived by the time we get back – perhaps we’ll be luckier in Somerset?!

It was last Monday so am recovering well now. Bruises were horrendous but the cracked ribs make laughing, coughing or sneezing an agonizing event! Copious amounts of cava are effective at numbing the pain though, and it hasn’t lessened our enjoyment – how could it?

Very jealous of all of your gorgeous holiday pics! – except for your poor arm, ouch! I hope you’re well on the way to recovery now, it looked awful π¦ I love Sangria, and Spain in general!

PS aren’t selfies easier with the hubby as their arms are much longer! βοΈ

It’s so lovely in the mountains – I’m not a beach kind of person so I love it here. Boys have been on three pony treks and want to continue back home. Luckily there’s a stable yard half a mile away so it won’t be a problem:)

Ribs are still painful but there’s nothing you can do except be careful – it’s not as if you can splint a rib cage! Plenty of rest and the odd G&T or cava seem to be doing the trick though:)

I am so so sorry. Had had a little op on my arm on Monday morning – and I guess my brain was more scrambled by it than I realised and that’s why I mistook your arm for your leg and ignored all the other comments. Poor you π¦ Take it easy. x
