Hello! I was born in London but moved to Cordova (inland Andalusia) thirty-two years ago. Although I qualified as a geologist, I had to retrain, and I now teach English and work as a freelance translator, writer and artist (sort of!).
I have written and published two books: Edward’s Secret and the Enchanted Throne for young teens, available from Amazon, and also 'An English Lady in Cordova - the Alternative Guide' which tells of my experiences (both humorous and harrowing) of living in Cordoba and later on, in the countryside location of Posadas. I describe the culture, history, geography and emblematic sites of Cordova, Posadas, the neighbouring villages and local Sierra — (hence the ‘alternative guide’ bit!)
My blogs talk about my experiences here, my day-to-day life, and also include poetry, quotes, literature, art, photos, nature, and thoughts and reflections. (In other words, it’s a bit of a pot pourri, but unfortunately, I still haven’t learnt how to house these categories into the different pages that appear in the menu!)
I do hope you enjoy reading my blogs, and I welcome your comments and questions, as I love to interact with people.
Thank you for visiting — bye for now!

What a stunning sky. I love taking photos of the sky in all its glory. I love the quote too – so true and apt. I hope you are taking time to enjoy the warmth too. 🙂

Thank you! Yes, I work on my computer in the porch outside — the one that overlooks the whole of the Guadalquivir Valley with the mountains in the far south rising up hazily!

I think the image in the photo is very esoteric 🌈🙌

Yes, in fact I have just come across one of his Sufi poetry books that I had and which I’ll have to read again (though it is in Spanish so it’s not quite the same as reading in your mother tongue…).
