I picked up a cold earlier in the week but fortunately on Friday I was feeling much better and was able to get my crochet hook moving again! I started Friday with my sampler blanket looking like this
and managed three rounds of the border - well I did do the last side on the third round this morning! One round of green crossed treble and two rounds of black trebles.
Next up I think a few rounds of pink shells would be nice. It is reasonably square considering that I have not blocked anything - a miracle I think!
Since my last post we visited the guns at Mazarron. This site was built in the early 1900's overlooking the Bay of Cartagena to protect the military arsenal at Cartagena. 7km of windy track takes you up to the site and the views are spectacular. It was a bit misty so my pictures are not as good as I would have liked.
In the first emplacement there are two huge guns - you can just see one peeping over the rocks in the picture above.
About a km further along the point there were four more guns - there are only three there now as one was moved to Almeria. These are not so big but still large.
Well worth the visit for the amazing views.
Another amazing view was of the murmerating starlings near to where we are staying - I am particularly pleased with this picture.
