The Weather In Granada - Now And The Next 10 Days

and I'll do that Streusal cake soooon!! 

Bit tired tonight as we have had a busy day sorting out the shed and gardening.  I had 2 wormeries that I have now dismantled - don't go 'ugh!!!' as they are really good for producing liquid fertiliser - but the worms like a damp climate and will not survive in Andalucia.  Each wormery only cost me about £12 to make so don't go buying expensive ones.  A couple of plastic containers, a spigot, some mesh and a handful of worms...if anyone wants more precise details leave a message and I'll give more info.  You get litres of 'liquid gold' right through from March to November.  Then the worms hibernate.

Which reminds me, I love the book by Roald Dahl when the old wife gives her husband a bowl of spaghetti mixed with wormsand he eats it all up!  Excellent.

Tomorrow we thought we might go to Walton on the Naze to meet up with other bikers and have a chat.  What a friendly bunch they are; you can rock up anywhere and get into a conversation.  Quite a few girls have their own bikes too, so it's not just 'men-only' and many folk are grey-haired like us.  We might start a weekly bike meet in Trevelez once we get sorted, which is a good spot for coffee and tapas, and fantastic roads in all directions to get there.  Any ideas?

Glad to see another passionate biker here. What bike do you have? I have a Honda Fireblade.

Hi Pat
You're my first 'comment' so thank you! We have 4 bikes: Moto Guzzi 1100 Sport, Honda VFR 800i (pre V Tec), Suzuki 500GS and Honda c90 (the baby, for me as I only have my CBT). Steve has always had bikes but there was a long gap in the 90's without. He wouldn't mind a Firestorm, has never had a Fireblade but admired them from afar! Now we get out most weekends that the sun shines.
Where do you go for any meets? Have you ridden up to the ski slopes above Granada? Superb road in the summer!
