This is hands down one of the niecest and most memorable wine labels I have seen, honouring the grandparents who started the vineyard 🍇 outside Alcalá la Real. Don't miss on your next stay in Andalusia. 🍷

The first 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 reviews are in! As a cozy mystery writer, my biggest concern has been whether readers can solve the puzzle too soon or if they'll stay intrigued until the very end. I'm thrilled to share that in "Shadows of Serenity," I've successfully kept readers guessing right up to the final reveal.

"The mystery itself left me guessing. I kept changing my mind about who the culprit could be, and was surprised at the end, but it all fit nicely."

Thank you all for the incredible support! 🙏🕵️‍♂️📚

Decoupage Saturday 🎨 This winter, we're refreshing the look of our guest apartments which, hard to believe, are now 8 years old! 😀A dash of rustic shabby chic and some decoupage for the old kitchen table and chairs.

One of our favourite hiking and cycling routes near our house - the area is called Prado de las Palomas, the meadow of the doves, because of the hundreds of birds 🐦, including wood pigeons, that live in the grass and in the oak forest.

No Place Like Home is a registered charity No 9575 and, since its beginning, it has rescued and rehomed hundreds of old and sick dogs from various parts of Andalusia. Every rehoming costs money in terms of vet bills, passports, flight crates, and transport. Some of their resident rescues are old and sick and are not suitable to travel abroad. They need sponsors to buy their monthly medication and help with their vet bills.
