14 of us today
This included two new members, Barbara and Maureen
Jean’s sister Sarah also joined us as a visitor
It was another very cold day and everyone dressed accordingly
Fortunately it was quite sunny, which took the edge off the cold
We crossed the river at Alcalali, using the temporary bridge
Then towards Jalon, turning back just before we reached the rastro
It was disappointing just how little almond blossom there is this year
Some are blaming the weather, but I think it is the blight
Over the past five years there have been less and less blossom each year
But this is the first year there is so little we have not organised a blossom walk
Even on our “almond blossom detour” there was very little blossom
This is one of the very few examples we found
Which prompted a group photograph?
But even on this tree you can see there is very little blossom
Once more we had a break at the Ermita
We use this picnic site a lot on our Thursday walks because there are very few other options
As we returned to Alcalali I realised we had been walking much faster than normal
This was, of course, due to the cold
So we finished the walk about 15 minutes early
And we had our after walk drink inside bar Porche rather than out in the square
Temperature – 4-9c
Time taken – 3 hours
Distance – 9 km
