We had no idea what to expect in Yegen, but we knew that we wanted to see the house where Gerald Brenan lived; the village that formed the basis of his account of life in Spain between 1920 and 1934, so almost 100 years ago.
Part of this year in Spain we are exploring parts of the country we don’t yet know, and dig around to see if there are places we love more than our home in the Lecrin Valley. So off we went into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and beyond...
Today, we had a jaunt along the coast to Marbella...
‘All good things must come to an end’. Well, that’s a ridiculous phrase if I ever we heard one; why must all good things come to an end?

Well, who would have thought this time last year that we, Andrew and I would now be ensconced in Spain as we cross over from 2016 into 2017. Yes, it was our plan for the year, but so much could have gone wrong to upset that particular apple-cart.
Today we have had a bit of a breakthrough! We have engaged with the villagers!!
This was an unusual Christmas. For a start, this is the first year that I have not spent Christmas with my family - either with my parents or my children. It was just me and Andrew.
