Visiting friends

We had and extremely pleasant day with an old work friend, catching up on 26 years of life, a lot has happened but little has changed, maybe the hair is a little greyer and the knees creak more, but it we if that time was only a few weeks. He has made Taramundi his home and made his home in Taramundi,  literally, he has rebuilt a house from what  was a derelict shell, and what a wonderful job he has made of it, but that was always his style. 

Just by chance there was a fiesta in Pontenova with a firework display at the old iron kilns, so at 1130 pm we headed back there for a spectacular show including a portable stage with entertainment. A wonderful end to the day. Back to the van for an overnight in his driveway. Thank you N and R.

We drove to the aire near Combarro, for an urgent stop at the service point for water etc. Parked up and walked to Combarro an old fishing village with a number of horreos, food storage buildings on stilts lining the shore. The village itself is well worth a visit, steep narrow streets built on and into the rocks.

Stretton Fox

Handy pub stopover just off the M6 / M56. Some nice real ales at the bar and a rustic atmosphere.  Very busy for a Wednesday night. Food looks good, but we have already eaten, maybe next time. Good night sleep with the soothing drone of the motorway traffic in the distance.
