Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 30 October 2022

To the north of this, a really huge cliff glowers down and all the clouds gather around it.

We loved the wildness - there is a tiny town there and we managed to get a cold drink.

The road then stretched out across the island as we went inland again, getting lost in the process!!

Then, as we came to a crossroads and confirmed where we were, we saw the strange white sculpture I showed you before.

A view of the odd way they grow their grape vines - each one is in a hollow, with a little wall around it. That way it's kept watered by night time condensation when the temperature drops. There are many Bodegas or wineries in this central region.

We stopped by the roadside and found a very neat well kept church.

It even had a garden with some tended shrubs and roses. 

Lindy - thank you for the photos. Just the thing on this rainy afternoon. What an amazing landscape. The only place I have been to which looks remotely like that is Iceland. No grape vines there though!!! I like the church. It sort of reminds me of those you get in old Western movies.
OG sorry you had a bid night. It must be awful to toss and turn like that.
On the subject of cookers. I do change the clock on mine because I use the timer. It is 15 years old and still works. (Hope I haven’t jinxed it by saying that!)

Thanks again to Diane for starting us off. Will look back and see what's been happening later.

Not a lot doing down here. Weather changeable. Look in later.
