After the weekend, and Monday when everything shuts in Spain, and Tuesday which was a Bank Holiday (I think it might have been Columbus Day but I’m not sure) I’ve now been able to get to my internet shop to keep you updated with events.

FRIDAY 5 OCTOBER
Today, we were lazy which was most enjoyable.


SATURDAY 6 OCTOBER

Before it got too hot, Jeremy and I went for a walk from the village into the mountains It was gorgeous and the views fantastic. Returning to the village, we noticed hundreds and thousands of millipedes on the tarmac. It took a lot of concentration to avoid stepping on them. Jeremy reliably informed me that it was their mating season and that is why they were on the tarmac (see photo!)

After joining, Steve and Carol (from Wetheral) at their home, we went to Saturday Evening Mass at the local church.

SUNDAY 7 OCTOBER
We left Aigues early to get Jeremy to Alicante Airport for 9.30am. I was back at Aigues at 10.30am and settled down to my rhythm of study and prayer. It was a lovely sunny day.

MONDAY 8 OCTOBER
After breakfast went for a walk on the outskirts of the village and then returned home.


TUESDAY 9 OCTOBER
Another lovely day. I went for a walk early in the morning before returning for studt etc. Before supper, I went for a drive to Rellu further up the mountains. The light wasn’t great but I took a few photos which I don’t think does the view justice.
