Sunday Afternoon

BySouthportRed

Got into Logrono on Friday evening and had a super night. The city was full of people of all ages till late. Had pintxos (tapas but northern) and an all round good night.
Set off walking to Ventosa (about 20Km) at 7am and arrived at about 1pm. The walk was lovely. Hot and sunny and the countryside was beautiful. Went out to eat with a group from the hostel we were staying in. Aussies, americans, Canadians, Germans and a couple of others. A good time was had by all.
Left Ventosa at about 7 this morning and we’ve walked about 25km to Ciruena, a strange place which has been built on an old village, but most of the houses and apartments are still for Sale. Eating in the hostel tonight. 2 courses with wine for 7 Euros. More later.

     After a lovely evening of Shakespeare the weather returned to normal so didn’t do much for a few days. We did, however, discuss the walk we did last week and decided to compare and contrast with a walk on our own this week. We headed to the Wyre Valley at Scorton and walked up to…

  • This is Southport

    BySouthportRed

    They started coming almost as the new day dawned, bringing brooms and buckets, trays of drinks or just goodwill. The rubble was swept from Southport’s once-quiet streets and the windows shattered by rioters were fixed.  Local builders volunteered to shore up a wall outside the mosque, smashed in the previous night’s orgy of self-righteous thuggery, while neighbours helped council workers…

    I thought it was probably time that I gave you a little medical update and now seemed like a good time. If you read the blog fairly regularly, you will know that I build little plastic models during the long, dreary winter days. Today, after lunch, I went to do a bit more work on…
