Winter Walks: 1

We like to walk in the park across the road every day if we can. If the school beside our flat is the biggest drawback of the location, the park is the greatest blessing. Winter here means being comfortable in long trousers, and sometimes having to wear several layers of woolies, but not every day. In the park it means a mellowing of the colours, and a kind of autumnal feel, but here is no general leaf fall, and butterflies and small birds are still common.

Looking back down the path in the park. At this point we are looking straight towards our road, with its ranks of blocks of flats. The restrictions that have limited them all to five storeys are very welcome!





Flower of the Pata de Vaca - Cow's foot - which I believe is the largest plant of the pea family.
