February 2011

1st February
We walked in the Jalon Valley with our friends Keith & Eunice who we have to thank for this picture of us together.  We were a bit early for the almond blossom but enjoyed the walking and company.

2nd February
Today we did a trial walk led by our friend Margret from Benissa Cemetary to Soldates and return. This was in preparation for the Monday Club doing the walk on 14th Feb while we are back in the UK for a week.

4th February
Jan & Paul visited Moraira to look round the Market, relax by the sea (above) and have lunch at Monroes Restaurant with our friends Mary & Joe.

5th February
David enjoyed the CBMW Fig Tree walk led by Peter Greig.

10th February
We returned to the UK for Frances's 18th Birthday, here blowing out candles with her cousin James.

12th February
We walked to Audley End House to meet son Jon, Clare, James and Henry. At this time of year the Snowdrops and Aconites are really beautiful and it only rained once!

18th February
We travelled back to Spain with Jean & Harry Williams. Here we have walked to Portet for a lunch by the sea in the sunshine.

19th February
We attended our friend Paul Ridge's 70th birthday lunch at Restaurant Mesena  Here we enjoy Champagne back at their villa with photograph by Susan Ridge.

22nd February
The Almond Blossom was still lovely on Sierra Bernia for Jean & Harry before their return to the UK on 24th Feb. Spain supplied excellent weather for a nice visit.

26thFebruary
Finally a climb to Orba Castle in brilliant sunshine with Jan & Paul completed a great month for Rosemary & David. The Swallow Tail butterflies on the summit were a unexpected bonus this early in the year and this Spaniard and his horse made for an interesting encounter with the Caballo Verde Ridge in the background.

  1. I love the pictures of Spain, are you able to walk as freely as you are here in the UK? To think that those pictures were taken last month, it looks like summer.
