Much to our surprise our daughter had arranged for a cousin of mine and her husband, who live in the south of France, and who we hadn’t seen for probably at least 5 years, to visit for a few days while we were in Spain. We knew nothing about it until they arrived!

Mild
and still.
Bonfire blazes bright.
Branches pruned from olive
trees.

In Spain my daughter has a few acres of mostly olive but also some almond trees. They have been much neglected in recent years and so they have been spending time pruning them ready for spring. We had some wonderful bonfires burning the brash – it does blaze up well, must be the oil!

I don’t usually post here on a Sunday but this Elfje is the first of the ‘stones’ written whilst I was away. It aslo appears today on ‘By the Wobbly Dum-Dum Tree’:
Flying
to Spain,
from above clouds
look just like arctic
seascape.
