Lets start at the beginning
a very good place to start.....yes.. I am a fan of the Sound of Music.
The new arrival is finally here!! Let me present to you SBB Lorenzo II from the Worldwide renown free range breed of Spanish Bravo Bulls.
His Dad,who you can see in the photo below, is the Great Lorenzo I so as his first born he becomes Lorenzo II .
....his Mum calls him LoLo!
His Mum and Dad are so very pleased that as he is an exceptionally rare blue breed of Toro Bravo he will never have to go into the bull ring but happily he will become a RAOCK special! LoLo will be transported first class to the UK to live out his days with a new friend and a loving family.
For those of you who are visiting my blog and this post for the first time RAOCK is the acronym for Random Act of Crochet kindness. This is a facebook worldwide public group that has become extremely popular over this last year and has now over 16,800 followers. It is really amazing how such little acts of kindness and the smiles they produce can brighten people's lives.
Olivia the creator of this group says:
"This is a group for anyone that wants to share an act of kindness, it's mainly for crochet but if there is anyone that has gone out of their way to make another person smile, I want to hear about it! Let's build a community of kind acts, and make the world a bit lighter and brighter!"
Sunday mornings
Last Sunday week we went further afield up into the mountains above Benidorm to the picturesque towns of La Nucia and Polop de la Marina. It is really a lovely area of the Alicante province and we particularly like the markets that are held every Sunday there.

| Polop de la Marina |
We like to go first to the home grown fruit and vegetable part of the market and stock up. The products are cheaper and of much better quality than down in Alicante city. We also like to buy the local honey and the sausages that La Nucia are famous for:

| Morcilla black,white and red sausage |
I prefer the red sausages myself but Sr P likes all of them. I usually use the Morcilla black to make lentils stew.
This area is surrounded by the beautiful Aitana mountain range and as it was such a wonderful sunny day I took a few photos.
These photos are particularly for Kathy at Compassion knit. As you can see Kathy it is greener...not Wisconsin green but Mediterranean green.😁
