And that was September....

Mostly photos again taken  - and forgotten about - during September.  We had some wonderful weather,  we think September and October are amongst our favourite months as it's not too hot, not too cold, not too windy.....   We probably have a temperature of the mid to high 20's so it's still plenty hot enough to swim, walk, start the autumn garden tidying but without being unpleasantly hot.

At the beginning of September we woke to a low cloud bank which ran along the valley below us,  from left to right was a shiny white cloud.

A few days later Pip and I were on our early morning walk in the direction of Yegen while Monty pottered very slowly up through Montenegro with John keeping an eye on him.  As we came up the new  concrete road and turned the corner to head down to the stream - the area know as Gypsies Leap - salto de los gitanos - there were 3 mountain goats just to our left.  Normally very shy,  they leap and bound away but these just looked at us curiously.  A few photos,  then we carried on walking down to the stream, and on our return about 5 minutes or so later, they were still there although higher up the rocks.



We went out a bit later this morning,  these were taken about 8.30 - 8.40.  The sun is up, the sky is blue!

And our neighbours yucca is blooming again..



Now we are into October,  it is still very  warm and although we had a half hour shower last Wednesday,  that bit of rain wasn't much.  A couple of cloudy afternoons too,  but still warm enough in the pool to swim every day.  Today was 25 on the shady terrace,  but the forecast for the next few days is a little bit cooler,  a little bit cloudier,  autumn is coming.
