Travels again

Visible to anyone in the world

So spent the day preparing for a trip to Spain, going to Xabia (Javea) to do some hill walking, great mountains around there. My third (I think) trip there, and a good spot as the apartment we are renting is on the beach, and yet just a few miles inland is a great walking and climbing area. Mt Montgo I think its called. Planning to hire a road bike and get some cycling too...

Studies have slowed down a bit, am well into Dr Faustus now but it can be heavy going, even though I  love it. As soon as I get a chance to see a production I must go!

Went on a local walk yesterday, pretty cold but blue skies and windy. Went to a small Herefordshire village called Marden, which has a beautiful old church, which looks medieval, but was actually completely rebuilt in the 1870s. The spot made all of the more stunning because all of the snowdrops were glinting in the sun. Blew the cobwebs away though.

Still staying news free as far as possible, and better for it, cant be bothered with it all really and does it affect my life, i dont think so. Still cant avoid hearing of the tragedies in the states (my God!), and the winter Olympics is all over the place....

Early start tomorrow, and cant wait to get out of this country.....
