Spain garden-15

Its been awhile since I last wrote anything here, but life has been hectic and I have only a week left in Spain before I move to Ludlow.  We have decided to rent a house in the town, while we continue to try and sell our house here in Spain.  The markets are bad here and time is passing slowly, so we made the decision and the perfect house was available in the exact street I wanted to be.  How cool is that !!

Two of the children have just been over and left last night so I now need to crack on and get jobs finished and pull together everything I will need in Ludlow.  We will pack up the car and drive over and then Alistair will fly back and carry on with his writing.  It is terribly hot here in Spain now and I spend my time at the computer trying to learn as much as I can about photography with Scott Kelby's help and his mates at Scott Kelby's training, with the Air Con on high - and I don't venture out till the evening air has cooled.

The veg beds are full of beans and tomatoes, cucumbers and sqaush but they are feeling the heat as well and I don't expect them to last much longer.  I am excited about growing things in my small garden in Ludlow and really  really excited about feeling some rain.  i know the novelty will wear off, but I intend to enjoy every drop while its all new.

I have been changing my software and updating to Lightroom 3 for my photography but would like to by a new camera as soon as I can afford what I want.  Its going to be a stretch paying a mortgage and rent so I will most probably have to wait a bit longer, but then the anticipation of something new is always a thrill in itself.  Pics are of my eldest daughter Simone, Alistair and Max, and a frog I found in the outdoor shower - The family were in Monda watching the football when Spain won the World cup.  It was AMAZING
