Many thanx for you Valentine's card ; and your continuing support and friendship. It is greatly valued, I assure you!

Tonight, I'm gonna post a monton of love poetry to mark the day. ( a monton is a great old heap, a big amount, a cochel, lots, many, and ... well, you get the idea, don't you? By the way, a calle is a street )

Dearest El Tel,

Hope you have a great day today with the sun and the sunshine (Lady Ariela)!

* Don't be a-llama-d by me sending you a Valentine's Card. I'm just spreading some bloggerly love around.

*Cheers! Dave. Lots of MHS to you (Masculine Hand Shakes)

*Cheers! Just dropped in to see if you'd returned. But no. Never mind. See you soon, El Tel.

As usual your post are unique. About the lack of knowledge of national history or culture in most European countries of Western Europe, that is UK included, don't you think it is this new trend of multuculturality that is killing the desire to teach the past tothe current generation? On this, your writing and the paost was great .Cheers

PS - it wasn't a little slice, it was a satisfying hunk of scrummy cake!

El Tel, you are a painter with words. These little vignettes of Andalucian life make me feel I'm wandering those dusty streets too. Some great similes - the cigar one for example - so uniquely you. Well done for spotting David Blaine on that country road - 'a degree in thick, bless them' - that one's going in my store pot. I'd love to meet Pepita (I think).

I can't name one traditional folk tune, but I can spot a bit of Hamlet at 100 paces.

Excellent writing Terry - I have strolled in your summery Spanish shoes at half seven on a cold English February Saturday and it was truly delightful.

Dave.

Spanish lesson required: what does 'calles' mean?

No time to read this slowly enough to do it justice. Just let me drop

this quick thought before I start making dinner for the children...

Hubby and I watched some corny little home show set in Spain.  Without even thinking, I jumped up and yelled, "Hey!  Ariel lives there!"  Hubby looked me like I was two snorts shy of a full glass of grappa.  LOL

A delightful post. I'd love to own a mule. It's next on my list.
