It was the perfect day for finishing the painting It was the perfect day for finishing the painting and cleaning in the living room and putting the decorations up. The fireplace looks great now that Clive has finished filling it. Our sorry looking Christmas tree actually perked up and, despite it's strange shape, doesn't look too bad now it's decorated. It will definitely be planted in the garden after Christmas, it will be too big for the house by next Christmas, how we even got it inside, especially considering the huge, heavy terracotta pot it's planted in I don't know! The rain held off this morning long enough to take the dogs for a walk, though the sky was black. Lovely to actually get a photo of Poppy having fun with the others. A memory popped up showing Peanut helping friend Chloe pick the olives 7 years ago, wearing the pipe that we now use on Poppy ❤️. I put some lights around our insulator sculpture, it looks great. Clive also put some in his model of the house that he made. #cortijoloslobos #villanuevadeltrabuco #greysky #rescuedogs #rescuecentre #christmas #christmasdecorations #christmastree #ruralretreat
It's been a race against time today with lots of o It's been a race against time today with lots of outdoor jobs to get ticked off before the rain arrives. I filled some cracks in the Secret garden while Clive cut across the concrete in the horses paddock for some cables. I seem to be making a habit of having a birds eye view of Clive working 😂. Clive also had to fit the old woodburner from El Establo into the El Jaral apartment, to give some heating ready for my brother arriving for Christmas. Both of the cottages are booked, ideally we would have loved to keep the cottages free for family for Christmas but we need the money so we had to take the bookings. Clive needed to get the hole knocked through and filled before the rain and also to get the noisy work done before guests arrived this evening. I caught Bella and Smudge playing in the children's play area when I went down to the horses 😂. We've decided to name the cockerals as having 3 is getting confusing. The old one, or the daddy, was named Coco in the summer by our youngest Grandson Lucas. One of his sons looks just like him and we tend to refer to him as the normal one, as he is the typical cockeral colouring like his dad. We've decided to play on the word normal and call him Norman. His sibling has a white tail which is really unusual, we tend to call him White tail, which isn't great, so we have now named him Chalkie. When I cleaned the cottage ready for the guests today I was upset to discover that the previous guests had obviously pushed the gas heater too close to one of the dining chairs resulting in a burnt cushion 😢. Luckily I had a spare matching cushion to replace it before today's guests arrived but, though I understand that accidents happen, I do wish that guests would tell me when something like this happens. Money for a replacement would have been good, but a bit of notice to give us time to replace something would also be a big help. I had hoped to do the decorations at the other end of the house today but there just hasn't been time. Hopefully I'll get them done tomorrow. #cortijoloslobos #villanuevadeltrabuco #ruralretreat #ethicalhorsemanship #freerangecockerals #rescuecats
Today is Constitution day, a bank holiday in Spain Today is Constitution day, a bank holiday in Spain, to mark the anniversary of the referendum in 1978 which approved a new constitution for the country, following the death of the dictator General Franco . There is another bank holiday on the 8th , to commemorate the Immaculate conception. Usually people make a 'bridge' between the two dates, to have a nice long break, but this year, with the holidays being on a Tuesday and Thursday it's a hard choice which other days to take off to make a bridge - might as well have the whole week off! Of course every day is the same for us, with the horses to do and all the other chores and today we also decided to go over to Lily's again, as the weather forecast showed it to be the last day there without rain for a while. It had rained heavily over night but I was able to get on with painting under the roof as it had been protected from the rain and Clive carried on with bricking up the pillars. I had a good view to keep an eye on him in case of any slacking 🤣.Since moving to Spain 23 years ago, we have always used these bank holidays to put the Christmas decorations up, starting when the kids were in the village school and home for the holiday. We tend to keep the tradition, and though there was still a bit of painting and cleaning to do in the kitchen when we got home, I was determined to at least get this room decorated tonight. The sky was very dark while doing the horses and walking the dogs but it didn't rain. I caught a cute thrush having fun in a puddle, he spent ages splashing around and didn't care that I was there 🥰. Olive was her usual 'helpful' self , while getting the kitchen sorted, I think instead of elf on the shelf we should monitor the daily activities of Olive 🤣. I just hope she isn't going to wreck all my decorations. We dug out the portable gas fire for the first time this morning, it is great for quickly warming a space up if we don't want to light a fire. Peanut was very happy , he does love his home comforts 🥰 #cortijoloslobos #villanuevadeltrabuco #greysky #rescuedog #rescuecat #rescuecentre #rescuehorses #christmasdecorations #ruralretreat #constitutionday #diadelaconstitucion
I finally captured a photo of Sierra and Smudge to I finally captured a photo of Sierra and Smudge together. They are so cute ❤️. Rain has been threatening all day but it didn't start until just before 7pm, when Clive was shutting the chickens in and got soaked. We worked at Lily's today, I managed to do more painting and Clive started bricking up around columns by the pool. We picked a bag full of oranges and there are loads more on the tree. I also got loads of avacados, I need to try to time the ripening for when Lily and Martin arrive on the 18th. We picked our two oranges yesterday too, quite pathetic really (they tasted lovely though) 😂. The lake viñuela was just as low when we passed on the way home, we need it to rain all winter to make any difference, it's crazy. The dogs were pleased to have a nice run when we got home, lovely to see grass at last but the seasons are very confused as the wild asparagus is shooting up . Clive finished plastering the kitchen ceiling while I walked them. We can now get cleaned up and put the decorations up, but not tonight, we're both too tired 😊. #cortijoloslobos #villanuevadeltrabuco #cloudymountains #raininspain #wildasparagus #oranges #homegrown #rescuedogs #rescuehorse #rescuecat #catandhorsefriends
The El Establo cottage looked so cosy last night, The El Establo cottage looked so cosy last night, before the guests arrived. We have rain forecast all next week so I decided to give the horses some cosy straw beds. Typically, it didn't rain today and was quite warm, oh well, I'm ready for the week ahead. They do get to lay down in the sand arena but if it's pouring with rain they won't and with most of them being in their 20's, I think they need a bit of comfort. Sierra was first to use her bed, you can just about make her out in the photo. She does love a morning nap ❤️. We've had a very busy day, filling cracks and cleaning in preparation for putting the decorations up. I also took advantage of the cheap weekend electricity and baked two huge quiches, which used up 20 eggs and made the Mary Berry Christmas cake (another 4 eggs) which can be made closer to Christmas than normal. I was planning to make it first thing this morning but the recipe said that the fruit needed to be soaked for at least 2 days. I only started soaking it yesterday morning so I was a bit annoyed but this afternoon I decided to make it anyway, I'm sure we won't notice the difference 😂. The kitchen is now smelling wonderful and we have to wait to eat it 😭. Naughty Olive still won't leave the avacado alone, what are we going to do with her? I'm dreading what she's going to do with the decorations 😂. The young chickens are also naughty, any chance they get and they're in our courtyard eating the plants. If they eat Clive's bonsai he'll be eating them for Christmas! When I finally sat down this evening the dogs decided it was their time for some attention, I wish Milly realised how big she is 😂 #cortijoloslobos #villanuevadeltrabuco #rescuedogs #ethicalhorsemanship #happyhorses #freerangehens #ruralretreat #cosycottage #rescuecat #naughtycat
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, in th It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, in the El Establo cottage anyway. We have guests arriving this evening for 3 nights so I put some decorations up for them. I would normally put ours up in the house this weekend but there are a lot of cracks to fill and painting to do, so the fun job has to wait. The village is getting Christmassy though, this crocheted Christmas tree made by women in the village is beautiful. I have managed to make cushions so far with my beginners level 😂. Poppy seems to love Milly, she is often snuggled up next to her ❤️. Her pups have arrived safely in the UK. Rosie, the one adopted by Clive's cousin Claire has settled in well. She looks like a brown version of her Mum ❤️. Clive discovered 9 eggs in the young hen's house this morning, I was just thinking that it was about time they started laying. How on earth we are going to get through at least 8 eggs a day I don't know. #cortijoloslobos #villanuevadeltrabuco #bluesky #christmas #feelingfestive #freerangeeggs #rescuedogs #fosterdog #giveadogahome #crochet
