Ubrique

We slept in (again), we really must get out of the habit of sleeping in, we regularly sleep until 9, it's not good! This must be what it is like to be retired with no reason to get up we just sleep, guess if we sleep we must need it. We'll be back to normality soon enough. We had decided to go back to Ubrique to see if we had a more successful trip this time. I am desperately needing a new belt, see the exciting things we get up to. The belt I use most was bought on Rhodes 12 years ago, it's done well seeing as it was only a few drachma and is a fake. So that was todays challenge, a new belt for Angus, it doesn't get more stressful than this. Ubrique is famous for Leather shops so that was the place.


Ubrique is a nice and attractive town, bigger than I remembered from my last trip a while back with a nice Pedestrianised street running down the middle.

This nice garden was outside a Leather shop, there are loads of them around and we went into them all, eventually I found the belt I was looking for, a few adjustments and it was mine.

We spotted this door knocker, Susan reckoned it had a hint of Charles Rennie Mackintosh about it.

We had lunch in the main street, normally we avoid main streets for lunch but this place was busy with locals so thats a good sign. It was pretty good and a fair price too.

We drove back to the house and had an hour or 2 on the terrace reading books, I had some work to do then we took the dogs to the tracks round Jimera de Libar.

On the way out we spotted this Mushroom, it is hard to determine the size from the pic, it was about 10cm high, maybe a little more. Does anyone know the name of it - Jutwallah.
Ben and Dan took us to the usual old Cork Tree, we sat and watched the scenery for a bit then headed back.



On the way back we spotted this flower, it was a perfect example for photographing, it is actually more pink than is shown here.

We came back home, had dinner and did a little tidying up round the house.
