LUCKY ESCAPE


We had a very exciting Saturday morning….we decided to take the dogs for a walk in a local olive grove to us and collect some mushrooms, which we had seen growing there on a previous occasion.

As you can see, we had quite a success day, although we were in for a big surprise. We walked right into the middle of a local hunt and were suddenly surrounded by a pack of hunting dogs and a hunter brandishing a shotgun....

We really should have known better, as hunting is a regular pastime of the locals during most weekends of the hunting season…

Needless to say, we didn’t stick around for very long and made a hasty exit....



With winter closing in and the time for using our wood burning stove fast approaching, we thought you might like to see a photograph of our wood pile, which was created by Ed during his last visit, before it’s depleted!

This reminds me….last winter we inherited the Christmas tree of our dear friends Caroline and Robert, which we duly planted in our garden and as you can see it’s doing really well.
