Biking & Baking in Las Alpujarras

We've been in Spain for over 4 years now - plus 4 motorbikes - and a horse - join us for the ride!

A brief return

Oh dear, I'm back in the UK again! Sadly my brother has died so we have a cremation coming up in 2 days. It has been a difficult time recently but he was spared some of the pain and distress of old age and illness and that was what he wanted. So I am enduring some grey and dreary weather in the north-west (but it was snowing yesterday in our village in the mountains...) and will send him off with a blessing, some daffodils and a TS Eliot poem. Then back to Spain!

Back soon :)

Hello Linda
I came across your blog while idly googling "Atalbeitar". I met you last July/August when I spent a few days with Cherie and enjoyed some pleasant times with you and Steve. I'm so sorry to hear about everything you've been through since then with your illness and the loss of your brother. I'll send you the card I promised back then asap.

with my very best wishes
Judy (from Australia)

Hi Judy
Thank you for your kind thoughts. Life continues apace, as you can see, and both the good and less good sides of life continue too! Some personalityś have not changed since your visit (if you know what I mean) but Steve and I are very happy here.
Best wishes
Linda

I'm heading towards 65 and enjoying life out here in Spain with my partner Steve and all our great friends here and in the UK. I have cancer and know a bit about the Spanish health system these days, but my motto is 'it'll get me one day but not yet!' We live simply, enjoy good company, the fabulous scenery and fresh air, our motorbikes and my special Andalusian mare Canela. Also the village cats! Home-baking has given way to growing vegetables, walking and riding, but we never know what else may crop up! And you can rent our s/c granero if you contact me direct. I have lots to say, so blogging is a good way to do it!
