I do have a breeze, when the weather permits, and it seems like today is a NON permitting day. I live a block from the ocean, so I do get breezes, just not getting them today. Don't like turning on the a/c only because electricity here is SOOO expensive! Even with a couple lights on, minimum tv and 1 a/c unit running for 6 hours at night, our bill runs between $300 and $400/month. No, I am NOT exaggerating! It's not the price of electric that is the problem, it's the Fuel Recovery Charge, whatever that is. That charge is usually 3 times the amount of your electric charge.
But I digress........I just loved Spain when I was there. Was many, many years ago. We had an exchange student when I was in high school and I still keep in touch with him a couple times a year.

Thanks for sharing all your photos. I loved them all (well except the bug). I especially enjoyed the baby lamb. There are goats in the pasture across from my house and they have lots of babies right now. Tooo sweet!!!

I pretty much ignored the snake and the centipede one.
We have snakes here, but I have yet to see one, which is a GOOD thing, but I have my machete waiting for it! :)
Centipedes are common here too. Had my fill of them when in Hawaii, and now have them here. I just make sure I have a HEAVY shoe/boot waiting on the side for them.

I had never heard of a "Victorian Knot" garden so was glad you posted a picture...gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
Your little lamb was probably very happy to be taken to his mamma. I hope the mamma was there. Sometimes these little lambs left alone are alone because their mamma died...around here the orphaned lambs are called "Bummer" lambs. They survive it the shepherd can get another mamma to accept the orphan.

The little lamb was reunited with its mamma, it was bleating its head off as I carried it and the mamma came arunning straight away, the shepherds walk for miles around to find feeding for the goats and sheep, and this little fella just got left behind...thank god I found him!! :D

Izy, that was such a cute story about the lamb. Your garden is coming along & hope you'll send photos as it progresses. I will have to google Victorian Knot gardens to get an idea of what yours will end up looking like. Sure looks like a lot of work, but it will be beautiful!!! I do think that the centepedes should stay outside & not in your bathroom though don't you agree. I don't think I'd be walking anywhere bare footed anyway!! LOL

We do have rather alot creepies here...just as well I like nature, but as you say NOT in the house - thankfully I have only seen a couple of those centipedes and I ALWAYS wear something on my feet, even during the night if I need to take a tinkle my flip flops are positioned just so I can slip my feet straight into em even in the dark
I think I would grab the tops of the flip flops with my toes & shake them out before sticking my feet into them. LOL
