My writing desk on the balcony looks down on a little square by the sea in Almuñecar, it is more lively than when we were last here in February; colourful stalls starting to appear… Joyous, vibrant, strips of cloth, skirts, pantalones, a mass, a tumble of possibility.

The sun is setting in glorious fashion, streaky pink purple orange, on another beautiful Spanish sunny mountain day. Anadi and I sat outside in the village of Bubion drinking café con leche earlier today, enjoying as always the still silent sound of mountain life.

I flew to Corfu on Monday. Landing on this verdant beautiful island, a sunny sparkly jewel in the Aegean Sea. As I stepped out of the plane, I felt the land familiar, embracing, delightful to my soul. And there was Anadi! We have been in different countries for the past three weeks, seeing him only…
