  They certainly did, all five of them, including our Theologian.

  We came back from the "oven" of Barcelona to a fearfully windy and damp London on Saturday.  From one July extreme to another.  
  
  Bercelona was so hot, that we usually ventured out early in the morning or in the evening/night.
  
  
  
  The early morning sky: not a cooling cloud anywhere.  You do miss the sight!!
  
  
  
  
  These little taverns offered cooling, feeding and ...watering spots.
  
  
  
  
  In these ever-popular places, we saw some of the locals spend MANY hours every day.  Easy to understand why.  (This isn't art, it's simply protecting the privacy of the people sitting there!)
  
  I love travelling but I do, often, love much more coming home to more of the same...

  I think you'll miss it in the heart of winter...
  
  I love the non-art!

  Perhaps that's the case with many of us.

  I don't miss the sight of clouds too often, especially when it's chilly and wet outside...
  
  But, I do know what you mean.
  
  
  I have a pair of shorts like the ones of the lady's in your picture!

  That was a bald man, not a lady.  In fact, they were both men.

  I just watched the 10 o'clock news; wild fires in Spain and in Greece.

  September 2023

  We're just back from Greece.  My Godson's in-laws were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary and as an honorary Godmother to their daughter, I've been adopted as "family"; so I was invited, as well as OH.

  
  

  After the party-which was lovely- we went to their country house in Nikiti, where we had the tastiest grapes ever that we picked form their own vine.

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  By the side of the road, leading to the house, there was an old pomegranate tree, not belonging to anyone, full of overripe fruit:

  
  

  

  
  

  The loveliest days and the most enjoyable experiences we've had this year!
