We moved from the van into the beautiful house in Cabopino and had the best few days with our Yorkshire Lass and her Hypochondriac, we ate, drank, played games and it threw us all back to our twenties. Although I don’t believe we could have afforded to buy practically an entire cow to barbecue in those days, nor quite so much gin. Sunny behaved like a star and seemed to be tempted to stay behind when we left, he has fallen in love with the Yorkshire Lass!
Shared memories are such a wonderful thing and we are so lucky to be able to make new ones. I did learn one important lesson, never ever use plastic cutlery when at their house, it may have been used in ways one can hardly imagine.
We moved on and up into the mountains to a site over looking the Sierra Nevada, there’s hardly anyone here and all we can hear are cicadas and horses, the total antithesis of the one in Marbella.
We came to this area specifically to see a school friend of mine that I hadn’t seen for 33 years. She hadn’t changed a bit and has made a stunning home here in the mountains where we sat watching the colours change, the goats come home and ate, drank, laughed, made new friendships and revived old ones. I didn’t realise how much I missed her until I saw her again. We were supposed to leave here this morning but it’s so gorgeous we are staying an extra day!
