All about ME…

I’ve had a wonderful time with my sister staying here, lazying under the spanish sun, that is still shining brightly here, no sign of autumn yet… other than the flocks of geese that fly over head on their journey to the warmer shores of Africa…  We visited our favourite restaurants, took short nature walks, collected crystal rocks for my ‘work in progress’ Earth Mandela and gave Angie some beginners tips playing golf… and she did very well… Continue reading

What a lovely week Tom and I have had with our daughter Juliette and her mum Ingrid… For some reason our family has chosen to live miles away from each other, so we do enjoy coming together now and again… We’ve been exploring the local area around Mazarron Country Club, where we live… enjoying the local food in Spanish restaurants, being inspired by nature, hiking up in the Espuna mountains and down along the beautiful Costa Calida, collecting crystal rocks for my crystal rock mandala… that is near completion… All this wonderful inspiration was channelled into our ‘soul art’.  A happy time together… Always precious memories… that I thought would be nice to share with everyone… Continue reading

The Wisdom of Golf… at Lorca Golf Resort, Spain

IMG_1266

It was an early rise for another great golfing day… we drove down, along the Costa Calida Coastline, a good half hour away, to Lorca Golf Resort, Spain…  We had an early start time, making sure we were ahead of others golfers wanting to play their round before the sun gets too hot…  The weather is really warming up now… its around 30 degrees… although during the mornings and evenings a strong cool wind blows, sweeping up everything in its path that is not properly grounded…

Lorca golf course is quite new and barren land, on the outskirts of the old city of Lorca in the middle of nowhere.  It is quite a hilly course, surrounded by rough mountains with massive ravines zig zaging across it… where many of my balls found their new home… Unlike Desert Springs, the land is bland and colourless, I felt lucky to come across these lovely wild purple thistles… The land felt good though… natural, wild and alive…  I felt that whoever had developed this land was connected to it and was working from his hearts desire… Continue reading

The Wisdom of Golf… at Desert Springs, Almanzora, Spain

IMG_1183 IMG_1187

24 years ago today Tom and I got together… a great reason to celebrate a few days in a lovely golf resort, Desert Springs, Almanzora, Spain…  The weather is warm but a little overcast, never mind… Tom and I have an early afternoon start time today to enjoy a nice game of golf and enjoy the beautiful scenery here in Almanzora… We’ve been here before, but I didn’t remember just how beautiful it was.. Desert Springs, like the name reveals is a golf course right in the middle of Mediterranean desert land… It is nature at its very best… wild, colourful, prickly and raw…
