Hello from Spain
Hi there, I'm just an oul Ex pat, living out here in Andalucia, with the Sierra Nevada mountains in view off the back terrace, Granada, about 50 mins drive away.
I have been getting 'the Mail' from my sister for donkeys years and only a few weeks ago I told her to save a bit of money and stop sending it to me here in Spain. I told her I could get the news online before she does in Lurgan. She of course does not believe me att all.She says " Yer ony coddin me " She still boils the kettle on the blocks and turf, in the hearth.Still makes a quare mug of tay , mind you. A couple of hanfulls of tay into the water and Bob's your uncle, you could stand a spoon in it Does grate wheaten and soda farls , and its many a day since I had one of them straigh off the griddle on the range, and handed to me with a clipe of country butter in it ,and the butter running down roun your elbow. Man a man, I can taste it this minute.This land in which I live now is a far cry from the Lough and Bannfoot, Low Island, on them sunny days of yore , when we would set out , 6 or 7 of us in a bunch, with a piece, off down 'the plain' past Sally Gracey's Lonen , past Silverwood , on to The Red Row, where we had to stop at 'the pump a fill ourselves up with the pure cold water ,by puttig our mouths under the spout, what an adventure, on out by Cuppages and then out the small narrow lanes , with their white walls, and thatched or courrogated tin rooves.Then on to 'the Low' and paddling in the water , near to where all the pigs were penned. I.m not sure what I.m doin here writing this , just roamin in the past ,and it costs nothin to be a child again on this fine sunny day in a small whitewashed village . on the South East coast of Spain . Hasa luego, mi amigo . Vaya con Dios.
