It’s July! We’ve just come back from a lovely wedding in Swansea. Good weather, great people, and lots of love. This time last year we had quite a different adventure. In 2017, we both walked el Camino de Santiago. Recognising the importance of a solo journey, we took different routes at the same time.

After a few weeks of tidying and organising, de-mousing the house and making plans for the year, we’ve settled back and feel as at home as ever here in Asturias.
