Monday Morning Photo - Wisteria Time in Andalucia

How quickly spring comes around after the short winter here in the Sierra Sur de Jaén. After lots of very much needed rain we´re back to the normal cloudless blue.  My garden is shooting incredbily with the moisture and now sunshine. And my beautiful wisteria flowers grandly albeit it short-lived. The big black carpenter bees love it. Each flowering season reminds me of the Botanical Gardens in Malaga and the ´tunnel´ of wisteria that I haven´t yet caught in bloom. April is a good time to plan to go if it´s on your list.  Here´s the botanical garden link La Concepción Botanical Gardens. And a sneaky peak at the wisteria. See the Monday Morning Photos list.

Solo Traveler - An Unknown Trip to .....

Ok, so I now know where I´m off to and off to soon - I fly from Malaga airport at 6am (I know, ugghh) this Saturday to Oslo, Norway.

I´m so excited. I´ll admit none of the Low Countries were on my ´want-to-visit´list ´cos I don´t do cold. I´m the only one in the house when it´s snowing outside, and yes, it does snow here in the mountains of inland Andalucia at least once a year!

Now I´ve bought some fleecy insoles, de-mothballed my coat, found a hat and some gloves I can´t wait. My trip research, a part I love and find almost as good as the trip, is well under way. There´s so much to do and see there I now wish I´d taken some time off and made it a bit longer - oh well, next time - or maybe not as I´ve just read that Oslo is one of the top twenty most expensive cities in the world.
