Spring is bursting out all over Spain

After all the rain we've had - nay, suffered - this year, Spring has suddenly come upon us here in Ronda (Malaga) with a vengeance. 

I took a stroll around my garden last week taking photos of trees, shrubs and bushes which are bursting forth with healthy blossom. There are also plants and vegetables which are thriving after all the rain. Unfortunately there are also weeds everywhere, which I'm gradually getting to grips with.

What follows is a picture diary of the photos I took at home and also of some seasonal flowers at my local, the newly opened Hotel Don Manuel, Fuente de La Higuera, Ronda.

Renovating Garden Furniture

The good Spring weather was also conducive to renovating some garden furniture and cannibalising some damaged wooden sunbeds and making a couple of coffee tables for the poolside terrace with the remaining good wood.
