Friends

Posted on 07/09/2014 by magwood

Shhh…….can you keep a secret?

Today Liana, Roly and I took ourselves for a trip into the Canillas de Albaida valley, down to the river where we can usually find a bit of grass for Liana, although it is rather sparse at the moment. It … Continue reading →

Roly saves the day

Posted on 25/03/2014 by magwood

We don’t get much excitement in the Wolfe/Woodward household, and that is just how we like it. We don’t even have the TV to distract us these days, since a new satellite was launched recently and the UK TV beam … Continue reading →

My space – my rules!

Posted on 01/03/2014 by magwood

I was a little bleary-eyed this morning after a rather good night at Cómpeta’s first hoe-down, which involved much merriment, a few glasses of wine and a bit of a late night. However my animals have no respect for a … Continue reading →

Animals………….who’d have them?

Posted on 09/12/2013 by magwood

We have a household of sulks and dis-satisfaction. Poor Roly is most perturbed by the presence of our two interlopers and is spending a lot of his time outside the house to show his disgust. Sheba has been in a … Continue reading →

Posted on 12/11/2013 by magwood

The shopping trip couldn’t be delayed any longer (we had run out of cava!), so we trundled down to the coast yesterday and, as it wasn’t too hot, we took Roly with us. We can leave him at home without … Continue reading →
