We arrived at our house....

Early January, and this years crop of oranges were ripening nicely!

The next day was Kings Day 'Dias De Reyes'.....

The three kings proclaimed their messages from the Town Hall balconey.
Followed by a procession of floats, bands and much sweet throwing!!

.....there then followed

A tour of the La Roda lights, and an amount of drinking in various La Roda bars.
That's Ann, Ruth, Mark and Tim in just two of them!

The next day a pony and trap came past....

... our house. If you look carefully, you can just see Ruth, standing by the front door!

...and on Sunday, a couple of doors down from our house

... there was a neighbour making 'Churros', on the pavement, in the sunshine. One euro bought more than Ruth and I could eat!

And finally.....

....another view of La Laguna de Fuente de Piedra.
From the other side of the lake this time. We drove around there by chance, and came upon this view.
