March Madness.
March Madness. The cold weather continued and finally, the promised rain that we’d all been longing for, for months arrived, arrived and didn’t stop! The land, reservoirs and, rivers were dry, our water supplies were threatened to be non-existant for the...
Walking to El Saltillo.

Time to chill !
One way to cool down, in the high summer temperatures is to enjoy a glass or bowl full of chilled Gazpacho. I keep a glass jug in the fridge to let flavours develop, and enjoy as and when.
