Monday Morning Photo - Wisteria Time in Andalucia

How quickly spring comes around after the short winter here in the Sierra Sur de Jaén. After lots of very much needed rain we´re back to the normal cloudless blue.  My garden is shooting incredbily with the moisture and now sunshine. And my beautiful wisteria flowers grandly albeit it short-lived. The big black carpenter bees love it. Each flowering season reminds me of the Botanical Gardens in Malaga and the ´tunnel´ of wisteria that I haven´t yet caught in bloom. April is a good time to plan to go if it´s on your list.  Here´s the botanical garden link La Concepción Botanical Gardens. And a sneaky peak at the wisteria. See the Monday Morning Photos list.

Quirky Toilets in Spain

Years ago my brother used to tease that I should have an A-Z guide of UK toilets as apparently, though not the way I remember it, everywhere we went I needed the loo. Any excuse to escape the car and him more like.

Well I´ve a Spanish wooden door post, a wooden church door post, a crosses post and now to a loo post. I mean everyone needs ´em, like ´em or not.

Now the normal run of the mill loo in the bars where I live are basic, no loo seats, and disgusting in sight and smell, bins overflowing with USED toilet paper. I have no photos of these.

This is a new thing. I don´t have a fetish or a guide of loos but when I spotted lovely wooden doors on the Moorish-arched loos at the Alcazaba in Malaga well, I just had to take a photo (and of course use them.)

And then, lo and behold, on the way home what should I come across (and use) but another set of loos that, to me, warranted a photo. So here we go with a toilet collection and post, that will no doubt be added to.
