Guajar Diary by Margaret Merry: THE END

http://guajar.blogspot.com/2010/02/end.html

Guajar Diary by Margaret Merry. Sunday, February 14, 2010. After four happy and stimulating years we sold our cortijo in Guajar Alto last month. We shall miss the beautiful mountain scenery, wonderful walks, the fascinating flora and fauna, our friends and the ambience of Spanish village life. The landscape, although not so dramatic and awe inspiring as the mountains of Los Guajares, is very pretty with its rolling hills of olives, river valleys and the vega of Granada with its backdrop of the Sierra Nev...

Guajar Diary by Margaret Merry: AUTUMN RAMBLE

http://guajar.blogspot.com/2009/10/autumn-ramble.html

Guajar Diary by Margaret Merry. Friday, October 30, 2009. Yesterday we repeated the long walk which I recorded on this blog on the 30th April. This time, our fiends Mike and Trudy came up from Salobreña, on the coast, to join us. It was another beautiful morning and very warm for late October. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Guajar Diary by Margaret Merry: July 2009

http://guajar.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Guajar Diary by Margaret Merry. Friday, July 24, 2009. It’s high summer and the temperatures have soared into the 40s. At this time of year, the droning of little yellow firefighting planes, carrying water to and from the big reservoirs in the north of the province to extinguish mountain fires, is not an unfamiliar sound. Photos of my olive grove this morning. Our olive grove, which in spring was carpeted with wild flowers and lush grass, is now sparse stubble, parched tinder-dry by the ferocious sun&#46...

Guajar Diary by Margaret Merry. Saturday, October 24, 2009. GUÁJAR LA VIEJA AND GIRALDA. We collected firewood in anticipation of the colder winter nights, and on the way back, stopped to pick some pomegranates on an abandoned piece of land. The Spanish word for pomegranate is ‘granada’ and I think it’s a great pity that the fruit which symbolises this province is nowadays not considered worth harvesting.

Guajar Diary by Margaret Merry: March 2009

http://guajar.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Guajar Diary by Margaret Merry. Thursday, March 5, 2009. Here is a delightful poem about a mule, but bear in mind my translation is a very literal one. I don’t know how best to translate kiosco so that it sounds poetic.The theme of the poem is the mechanisation of farming methods versus the traditional. My Mule by Dionisio Cañas. My mule is more. Than just a mule. She is the shadow of God. My mule and I go. In the morning we stop. In the stands at daybreak. Where the country workers. The heart of my mule.
