I wish you all a Happy New 2010!
We celebrated New Year in Valencia, Spain with Paco's family. It was a very tranquile New Years Eve. Most part of our Christmas holiday in Spain we have spent in the countryside of Lliria (a village 30 min from Valencia city). Paco's parents have bought a weekend house and there is a lot to do before it is habitable. The garden was totally overgrown, the house has to be restored completely, the same goes for the pool. When Paco's parents sent us the photos of the house we were a bit skeptical, the house looked like a shoe box. But now when we have seen it IRL we have fallen in love with it. It is a wonderful feeling to be on the countryside. The garden has been trimmed by a professional garderner the last days and it already looks different. When all is restored it will be a small paradise. It seems that the garden has not been watered in 5 years but it still has a lot of eatable fruits. There are orange-, lemon-, pomegranate-, fig-, nispero-, olive-, laurel-, palm trees and many more that I have forgotten. We have picked a lot of oranges and lemons and make our own juice in the morning. It tastes great.
The house is called "La Casa Verde", and has been called that since long before it was encountered. It seems that the house came with two cats as well. The former owner left the cats when he sold the house. Bastard!
This poor one we have named Pavarotti because he meows a lot. As you can see he has been in "war", his eyes are manhandled and not much is left of the tail.
This handsome creature is so far called "el otro" (the other one) because we haven't found any suitable name for him yet. Any suggestions?
