Washing Day in Lisbon

Letting it all hang out in Lisbon

Washing Day, Doing the Laundry, whatever you like to call it.  We all either do it ourselves or pay someone to do it for us.  Some of us hang it on a clothes line in our back garden.  Some hang it on a clothes airer inside. But on a sunny day in Lisbon, it is …

Housesitting – Is it for you?

We took on our first house sitting assignment with relish.  It was in a mountain village only one hour from Granada, Spain with one pooch, to look after. We had no car so were restricted to public transport, which meant buses. The buses did not run often, but they were full-sized comfortable coaches that ran …

Albaicin, Granada, Spain, where the only colour is white splashed with flowers.

Whenever we need some city excitement we catch the 9 a.m. bus from Moclin into Granada.  We only have a few hours there each time and I find it hard not to head to the Albaicin area.  The Albaicin was the Muslim Quarter until 1492 when the Christians took over.  It ticks all my boxes. …

I am drawn to doors.  This door in the Albaicin area of Granada had so many wonderful aspects that I could not choose just one.

When we sit in the front room of our house sitting property and look out the window, we see the wall across the road and two roof tops going up  the hill. Last night when Marty was closing the shutters he looked up toward the castle and was blown away.  The castle is lit up …

“It sure feels like labour day”, I muttered to myself as I dragged aching limbs skywards in the Andalucian Hills. I do not like walking/hiking uphill!  There I’ve said it.  It’s a shame I know. Anyway, what is the difference between a hike and a walk? Some say hiking is defined as off-road walking, in …

We are house sitting in a hilltop village about one hour (by bus) outside of Granada in Spain.  The village is very small and although it has a baker, his wares do not include biscuits. Our second trip to Granada took biscuit buying to a whole new level!  First of all we drooled in the …

We spent a lot of time walking the cobblestone lanes of Barri Gotic (the gothic quarter) in Barcelona.  Although we had a map we liked to wander aimlessly and let the laneways work their magic.  We marvelled at the violinists playing hauntingly beautiful music, the pastry shops and smells of coffee, the strange looking hams …
