here we are again!

After an early start and one of the worst flights for a long time being forced to listen for hours and hours and hours to two ladies comparing their mammograms, while I tried in vain to meditate or better still fall asleep, I arrived at Casa Pinheiro [www.casapinheiro.co.uk]. Everything looked so good. The weather is perfect. The almond blossom is still all over the trees and Lourdes is on good form. She tells me that the tractor is still working - more of this tomorrow. There has ben almost no rain over the winter, so there is no wild growth to deal with and in any case Jose has been taking the tractor for little outings and keeping things nicely cut.

The sea was sparkling in the sunshine and I hope that the photo captures it.
