Lots of love G & H xx
loving the blogs really enjoying reading the blogs and seeing the photos. Loved the photos last time of the Roman remains and this time the bright coloured hanging cloths outside the house at Mesi and the balancing act in the water. It all sounds like a great adventure. I love the contrasts, the slight cultural shocks to our comfortable sensibilites and the instances of human warmth you describe. happy travelling. Maureen
I cannot deal with rough seas so even the thought of your journey distresses me but somehow it seems quite an auspicious start to a real adventure.
It continues to rain here, the skies today have been so dramatic. Caught in a huge black tunnel that was throwing rain down in bucketfuls we could still see a glimpse of light blue sky across the road.
A seminar on Arts for wellbeing at Winchester Uni on Thursday was so uplifting, after we had sung a group of people from Brighton who are all aged 60+ performed a contemporary dance, very emotional and very inspiring.
Looking forward to your travelblog. Have fun. We are all going to Jane\'s tomorrow. Our walk is likely to be rained out so I will think of you in the sunny climes of Northern Africa.

Fantastic I have loved reading the blog but feel very miffed that we have been to Spain twice this year, May, - & Madrid last week and the weather has been decidedly iffy! So you need to bring some of the hot stuff back.
October days You both look golden and healthy and happy. The days are not golden here but it is still quite warm and we are promised some sun later today and over the weekend. Our weeks away in Norfolk mean that the garden has become a jungle but yesterday I made tarte tatin with the apples from the tree in the garden that is absolutely laden with fruit and there are golden globes of squash creeping along the vegetable patch. The sea exhibition opened on Tuesday, I was appalled, I immediately removed reference of it from my website and have written a letter expressing my feelings to the Head of School though I haven't quite summoned the courage to send it. I'll tell you all about that at some other time. Have worked really hard on Tuesday to complete my 20:20 prints, the print for the calendar is complete and sorted and now I just need to re-adjust to being back at home and try to get back into the flow of things. Although we have been back since last Monday we spent 4 days in London looking after Joseph and Coco so I don't feel quite settled. Being unsettled is not in itself a bad state but if I am to get down to my next art project then it is in fact a necessary state. I am sure that you will enjoy the next phase of your journey, it is lovely to hear about the places you are visiting,I look forward to hearing aout the next stage. love Maureen x PS Good luck to Chris in the triathlon!

hallo from bishopstoke Just to say we have both enjoyed following your exploits and we will miss reading them just so pleased that you had such a wonderful time you both look fantastically fit and well.
at last catching up just catching up after 3 weeks away and wishing you well on your journey. It's a good idea to have the blog, and I am looking forward to reading the parts I have missed. Oliva looks like the ideal place for slowing down and enjoying the moment. Thanks for sharing it. xx
