I spotted this lovely girl yesterday on one of my forays into the campo yesterday. I pulled up to her and started oohing and cooing, and saying what a pretty girl she was and when was her baby due etc. I didn’t really expect an answer, but I do like to engage animals when I can. Anyway, as I pulled away, I took one last look, only to be met by some rather large horsicles, not a mare afterall. He might even be a mule, that is how much I know about the equine world.
A little further down the road I came across this chap just mapping out where he was going to plant his new banana trees; 2-3 meters apart he advises. He made a point of telling me that these were local bananas, not the kind from the Canary Islands. I was surprised at how small the root base is.
I was driving on the cat-mobile when I spotted this scene. I must have passed this way 1000 times, and only yesterday noticed, I think, the church bell for the first time. I mean I knew it was there, but I don’t remember ever seeing the bell so clearly from the highway.
