Day 29 Hotel

Mon 12th May 2014
Me looking like a real Spanish lady - shaking the rugs out of the window.

After lunch David Hope & I walked up the hill behind the hotel to pick some almonds. They have many trees on the property but it is a very labour intensive job to harvest them - we just picked them for fun and later fried them in olive oil & salt - delicious.  

View from the top of the hill




You can just see "our house" at 1o'clock

We picked so many almonds - then came the hard part!


Me being silly with the pestle! Reminded me of the Danny Kaye film - Court Jester - "the poisons in the pestle of the vessel of the brew that is true"!!!! Watch the scene on u tube - it's hilarious (remember Trace?) Later we enjoyed roast chicken on the terrace and then got Priscilla ready as we are going away for 2 nights in the morning to Jerez for a horse show with Alan & Hetty (they have a hotel booked) We are leaving Hope in charge. Watched  August: Osage County movie then off to bed.
