7/8th June
On Saturday we left Ronda and travelled to meet Jack and Simon at our next stay in 2 adjoining casitas outside Vejer.
As J and S had promised (this is their 4th year in this area) Vejer and its surroundings are wonderful. Vejer is a whitewashed hill town topped with a castle and at this time of year still quite quiet and untouristy. On our first night here with our very tired friends who had had only one hours sleep the night before, we ate on a terrace overlooking a valley and wind turbined hills on a long road Paseo de Corredera where sometimes you can see eagles floating almost on your level.
After exploring Vejer a little more and coming back to our accommodation for a swim on our second day, we barbecued by the pool. This is a lovely place to stay, our hosts are charming, we have the pool to ourselves in a delightful garden where we can pick lemons for our salad dressings. Their little dog, George, likes to drop his ball through the boundary gate in the hope that we will throw it for him. We have been warned by our hosts that if we start, we will never be left alone, so we don't indulge him. The result is half a dozen balls by the gate and a hopeful little face and wagging tail peering at you. It makes you feel very mean!
The sun shines, the gentle easterly wind blows, cockerels crow, birds sing and nesting storks clack clack in the pine trees opposite.
Not a nun; typical Vejer dress - not nowadays of course.

Oh how gloriously idyllic it looks...I don't think I could resist throwing a ball for George though.
