We are still in Roquetas de Mar as the site is so well situated. Time is moving quite swiftly now but there has been little drama except a flat (and currently unmendable) bike tyre. We have had many walks and cycles until the puncture but we will be ready to move on early this week.
The last picture shows (or attempts to show) the two mountain ranges protecting us from the elements - the Sierra de Gador and behind, the Sierra Nevada. Unfortunately it only looks like one range which reminded me of a holiday some years ago in Corsica. As we sat on our balcony with the sun setting (and before anybody says a word, before an aperitif) I looked at the mountain and the shadow of the sun and it clearly identified the features of Uncle Bulgaria from the Wombles. Pauline agreed with me (or was trying to humour me) so I took a full 36 reel of film with the hope of making a few bob selling the picture to a publication which printed clouds looking like Jesus or suggestive vegetables.
Of course, once printed the photos just resembled a dark one-dimensional mass which scarcely looked like a mountain let alone a Womble so I should have learnt my lesson.
Time perhaps now for a game of tennis.
We have had over 400 views of this blog so thanks to everybody for persevering.
Birthday greetings today to Roger if you're reading this.
love

Has Jez gone mad and will he recover by our return
