Hi Marina, I stumbled onto your blog while searching for ways to live in Spain and learn how to cook. I was wondering if you had any recommendations extended cooking/living? Thank you so much!

Thanks for the links Pat! I think there is almost certainly a word for blogophile, yes, why not!

Thank you for the links to both blogs. Beautiful photos and interesting words. Love John’s sunset – I live in an area with magical skies but so difficult to photograph. I am a blogophile [is there such a word?] so will enjoy dipping in – here are links to two I enjoy:

Thanks Pat – I’ll check out that program. And the cup of tea, crumpets and hailstorm sound like happiness indeed!

Happiness isn’t the same as contentment, which is what most people want. I think happiness comes in short bursts hopefully throughout the day, but it is important not to miss it and to realise there is no need to be happy all the time. For me it includes music, singing, laughing and sharing. In my garden yesterday despite a hail shower it was the wonderful sky looking at clouds is fascinating, birdsong and apple blossom and because it was cold a nice cup of tea and a crumpet! I am looking forward to a friend’s birthday party this weekend and before that my Spanish class where we will learn new things, enjoy each other’s company and try not to speak English. For those who enjoy learning about the Spanish language and culture this series of programmes is worth dipping into and happiness tumbles out of them:

Lots of cows in Spain, that one was a really cute picture. The Cuevas del Mar… what a view.

Great pictures. Asturias – probably my favourite part of Spain. Why does the cow have a parachute on it’s back though?
