The Olive Harvest

On December 8, 2019 By christinamitchelldesignsIn Uncategorized1 Comment

Our time in Spain is rapidly coming to an end, and I'm delighted to report that we have accomplished our primary goal, that of the olive harvest. However, during the last month, we have overcome several obstacles:*lack of electricity (due to very little sun on the panels, rain was shorting out on the batteries and …

When we moved lock stock and barrel to Spain a few years ago we used our Toyota with a trailer, three journeys and the job was done. To keep the vehicle in Spain it had to be registered here. That was hard enough, but we did it and we now drive around in a right …

Fish and Chips Nica Style

Yesterday we took a trip to the Pacific coast, at Pochomil, to enjoy some time relaxing with friends. We originally had the idea of cooking on the beach but discovered that it was no longer allowed. Probably for the best as it was extremely hot there. Nicaragua sells excellent fish and we went to the …
