Spring/summer

 Jesus has vouched to bring us a homemade treat next Wednesday which we are looking forward to, it will be a surprise. Something sweet apparently, and Laura will bring cookies from her shop the following Wednesday. Now that we have a kettle  we  can chat over a cup of tea.

 People are making their summer plans and more or less we know that our last tertulia of the school year will be on 25th June. Sometimes the heat is so intense at this time of the year that we have to stop earlier. This year however, it has been raining nearly every day and grass is growing in the normally sandy parks of Madrid. The countryside is very pretty with the wilde flowers  in bloom again. Trees have extended their branches producing new leaves and providing a very welcome canopy of much needed shade from the hot summer Madrid sun. 

Happy San Isidro!
