Alcoutim

More rain so more mince pies. After yesterday's successful experimenting we doubled the quantities and fortunately didn't hoover the lot in one go!

"School" was drawing a Kingfisher inspired by yesterday's exquisite experience; thank goodness for Bol's artistic talent and incredible patience.

Ashore for the bread van but missed him, instead we found two beautiful ginger cats who befriended the children.
