NOVEMBER DECEMBER 2021

 Many will be making travel plans while we are being cautioned  to stay in our bubble as the only effective way to fight climate change as  well as COVID.

Maybe that is  why on top of the security measures adopted in the face of terrorism we now have to add all the proper  travel precautions to stop the pandemic from spreading...to make travel as difficult and unpleasant as possible.

Add to that the tricky negotiations at the airport where cabifies, ubers and  private cars all have to vie for the same  space to pick up and drop off passenger, leading to frayed nerves.

Let's hope that 2022 will be the year that sensible measures will be taken  and that there will be a breakthrough at long last in clean energy which will allow us to cross continents as freely and harmlessly as the birds in the sky.

The robin redbreast

 It is interesting to note that the population of robin redbreasts in Spain increases with the wintering birds that visit from Northern Europe. Here in  Spain this  bird is the bringer of good news so when you see one you can be sure it has been sent by a loved one from afar to say hello. Possibly for that same reason they are on Christmas cards and stamps all over Europe.

Our good news is that on Wednesday  September 22nd we will renew our weekly conversations. Same place same time
