Mixed Up Saturday


 

Good Saturday Morning Ladies, 

I am sat outside writing this at midnight,  we have an extremely warm and humid night, I was sure it said 91% humidity,   its not pleasant,  we have aircon inside but it's nice to sit outside on an evening,  we popped to the Old Town earlier this evening,  so we didn't get dinner until 10 30pm,  which is quite normal here,  I don't know how they do it every night, I hate going to bed with a full tummy, it's too hard to relax.  We took some photos of the old town, I will share them below.....




There are definitely more flowers in bloom at this time of year,  the Bougainvillea plants look beautiful, they are all different colours, white, pink and purple, the scramble up the old buildings so easily. 

These photos were taken by Lucy on our walk home on Thursday evening...


Its hard to capture,  the moon was full and it glowered a beautiful peachy orange colour. 


This was taken from the Coastal path, the full moon over a cliff, it looked so pretty with the reflections on the sea, in the cove at far end of the beach.


These are 'Agave ' plants,  the flower spikes are reach up to a good 20ft, we thought it was a tree behind the plant at first,  its amazing to see up close, once they have flowered the plants die!  Which seems so sad. 


This last photo is looking the other way in the coastal path, those lights in the distance are Estartit, the little town full of souvenir shops that we went on Monday. 

Thanks Lucy for sharing your lovely photos 🥰😍

Maria has shared this stunning Crystal Art that she has recently finished.  
She managed to complete it while Rick has been watching Rugby and Cricket.  The colours are so beautiful Maria, I bet it will look incredible once its framed. 
Thank you so much for sharing your Crystal Art with us my lovely XXX 

Ladies, I hope that you all have a great Saturday,  

Love and hugs to all,

  2. Hello all. What a scorcher today has been. Had to stay in out of the sun.
    Your photos are great, looks an ideal place for a holiday. Hope you will not get flooded out.
    Maria , love your picture, you must have endless patience.
    I managed to get a card finished for the challenge this morning, not my best, but I had forgotten all about it.so a bit of a rushed job.
    Have a good evening all. Lilia

  3. Hi Sandra and all looking in. Beautiful photos of the plants and the moon looks stunning. I agree with you about eating so late but they are used to it aren’t they xx
    Maria, what a pretty picture. I love the different shades of purple xx
    It has been very hot here today too. It has cooled down a bit now and there is a nice breeze so hope to manage a bit of sleep tonight.
