Thursday 19-10-2006






We are still 'live' (so to speak) from the caravan. I have been taking in hand another ten or so almond trees this morning whilst Elayne went ballistic with the iron (poor genny). This afternoon, in the grip of high winds, but not cold we wrapped up and set off to walk right down into the rambla and around the whole of our 'estate'!!. We have to walk quite some way up the camino to be able to get down into the bottom of the rambla so we walked far further than two hundred metres in each direction. Once down in the bottom of the rambla and looking back up the cliff face is quite awesome. One would be ill advised to try to climb these cliffs because the ground is quite loose and erosive. Anyway we have at last done the walk and I suppose we were out for an hour and a quarter or so.
BTW.
Our postal address for the near future will be:
Paul & Elayne Fellowes
C/O Lighthouse Properties SL
Plaza Mayor
Taberno
04692
Almeria
Espana

It feels really good to get back on line again, we had so much more time in the day today because we did not have to go to Albox.
Todays pictures are of this mornings lovely sun rise over the sea and mountains to the east of us at about quarter past eight. Me talking to one of our twelve olive trees, it must be over one hundred years old and is about half a metre in diameter at the trunk. The fruits are well formed now and some are turning from green to that lovely black as they ripen. Also a shot of our plot (excluding the rambla which constitutes about a third of the land) looking up from the SE corner and showing the almond trees (well over a hundred) and the future house position, where the caravan is. The caravan is facing SW and the house will face more south to south east. Lastly (but not in any sequence) a picture taken from down at the bottom of the rambla this afternoon. I estimate that this particular cliff will be between sixty foot high, or nearly sixty foot below the level of the caravan!!!
