THE JOYS OF SPRING

Lola has shared these gems from her walk around Sanse.

And Gloria has shared these. We are very privileged to have so much parkland in Sanse. You can walk cross country to the sports centre and see trees and flowers like the ones below.

Our Favourite Trees

This tree stands majestic in its solitude.

The beautiful photo is  by Luis Vioque.

Lola loves these ancient yew trees. 

Where will you find them?  In Sanabria. In Zamora.

It is a magic tree. El Tejo milenario.

Fabiola loves all trees indiscriminately and has sent us this stunning  picture.

                     Laura has sent us her favourite tree. It is the national tree of Venezuela.

                                             El Araguaney or Golden Trumpet tree

Pino canario

The trees have definitely benefitted from our confinement to flourish and bloom as you can see.

Asociación Educativa Oscar Wilde
We deeply regret the loss of a dear friend and  the wife of our vice president José.
Rosa passed away on May  4^th 2020.

When we started out on this venture we were very lucky that our families tolerated our different escapades and even joined us at the occasional pub quiz and on the occasional walk, as Rosa did.

It seems that we Irish share a common bond of not taking life too seriously with our friends from Galicia.
We will miss you, Rosa.
May you rest in peace.

To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace…for love is always with you, and love is stronger than death is.

Sweet smelling hawthorn flowers

The chirping  birds  in the trees  seem very happy to see us again as confinement rules for COVID 19 eased a little here in Spain.
We arrived just in time to see the end of the hawthorn in bloom.
