I hope you enjoy looking at my photos, it's my cheap, democratic way of keeping family and friends informed of what I'm up to here in sunny Spain. Please feel free to add your comments, check out the links etc.

Here are some of the fruits of our garden (not the almonds-we got those yesterday when we went for a walk-more about that later.) There are figs, apples, aubergines, cucumber, green beans, green peppers and lots of toms. Posted by Picasa

A bumper collection of tomatoes - you've never tasted toms loke these. Posted by Picasa

Our onions, a little small due to lack of rain, but very sweet and juicy, but they don't half make your eyes water!!!! Posted by Picasa

Yesterday we went for a walk with the dogs and to look for old vines to decorate the terrarium, we saw these ENORMOUS pumpkins. God am I jealous, don't knowwhat they use for fertilizer. Posted by Picasa

This is our neighbour ready to paint the town red. Posted by Picasa

Here's a photo of Gabi modeling my tiara-looks good, huh? Posted by Picasa

Here he is-on top of the world getting some much needed UVB rays. Posted by Picasa

A rather girlily decorated terrarium. I'll try and find some better branches and plants-not too sure how many sunflowers they get in Mexico-still he doesn't know what the natural vegitation is and at least he has some hidy holes. Posted by Picasa

Yum, yum. dandelion leaves and watercress are two of his fav foods. Posted by Picasa

Above are some photos of Iggy, or Juancho as my neighbours have cristened him. At first we had him in a metal cage and I had to move him about during the day so he could sunbathe - a little bit of a pain as you can imagine if you wanted to go out for the day. Now he's in his new home- it needs adjustments- better branches, a basking light and I need to find a way to control the humidity-but bit by bit we'll get there. The lights turn on and off automatically- makes life easier. Difficult to tell if he's happier in here-I think he enjoyed sunbathing but he'll have to wait for next summer now.
