Re: Orange Blossom
Just to make you all sick in the UK, I have just been sipping chilled rose wine with grapefruit juice (you ought to try it!) on the balcony in the sunshine with the aroma of Orange Blossom in the air, and now off for a stroll to the local restaurant for a steak which will probably cost us €25
Bi till later
Bi till later
Just got back from dinner
Restaurant owner German and wants to make good impression
Half pint gin and tonic as aperatif
I cant remember meal
Fell over a stray dog walking back and nearly plummeted to my death over edge of mountain
Couldn't pay for meal as when offering credit card he said that Telefonica are Shista (he's german), so have to go back for a lunch time drink tomorrow to pay for tonights meal
I dont feel well and will shortly be dparting for bed ..... but hell .... it still smells nice around here

Re: Orange Blossom
I returned last night from short hol in Italy, flew in to Sevilla airport and the aroma of orange blossom hit me as soon as I got off the plane and stayed with me the whole way back back down the Mway, driving along with my head out the window, inhaling deeply...

Re: Orange Blossom
I dont know how far the orange groves stretch, but in this area at the moment there is the most beautiful smell of Orange Blossom everywhere ..... it really is a pleasure when you're out and about. Also I don't know if you have ever picked an orange straight off the tree and eaten it, but they really are fantastic to taste.
Just thought I'd share that, as its one of the really nice things about this area at this time of year.

Re: Orange Blossom
Genegenie you are right. Lancashire is a beautiful county, lush and green. The countryside is a joy to drive around. When we get a nice sunny day (doesn`t matter if cold) then I wouldn`t swap it. xx

Re: Orange Blossom
I'd take it over the UK any day.
I think the German probably said it was scheiss.
Hmmm. 300+ days of sun a year versus 300+ days of clouds. Let me think about it for a nanosecond.
Nope, still prefer Spain.
