Its been a while since I took a photograph for SatScenes. I did not sleep well last night so, at dawn, went for a walk with my little JRT.

Superb lunch at Cafe Jamaica in Nerja was started with a Prawn Cocktail. Very tasty it was too!

Today we ventured to Lidl and, whilst there, purchased the delightful Queso de Tetilla. A cheese always likely to promote a giggle in our juvenile household. The cheese is named “tetilla”, which means nipple, and clearly defines the traditional shape of this cheese, that is, a flattened pear-shaped cone with a small nipple on the top.

Incidentally it is a lovely delicate and soft cheese too. Gorgeous for having with crusty bread – although, personally, I like to bake it with eggs in the oven!

I did post earlier. But then I decided that, in actual fact, I wanted to show how I concluded my Saturday – Counting Coppers. We keep a jar in which we place all our spare change. That point in the month when you realise you either need to take up weight training or empty the loose change from the confines of your purse / bag. We had €15,60 in Spanish, or should I say European currency, and £8.52 the Great British pound…

This sort of task takes me back to my childhood when my Grandparents always used to save up all the “copper” and place it in my savings account once a year. One year they saved so much I had enough to buy myself an Albion Saddle for my pony Thomas. Actually I believe in the years before it was the culmination of those savings which bought me Thomas in the first place! My saddle was, admitedly, worth more than the horse in real terms. A little Gypsy cob we paid £250 for.

There was no snow here sadly. Just rain, rain and a little more rain. But I did get a window in which I walked out to El Puente del Águila, an aqueduct built in the 1800?s.
