Head In The Clouds

This will be a short blog as we have to catch our lift back to our nw place in a few minutes. And isolated doesn't even come close! The farm is in a village of 3 houses called El Cedro on La Gomera in the Canary Islands. We are living in a small stone house a further 30 minutes walk away, where the nearest house is uninhabited and we are right on the border of the National Park. We have no internet access, very intermittant mobile phone signal and no neighbours! The farm is 800m above sea level and consequently has been shrouded in cloud for the last couple of days, but the sun has broken through today. The volcanic soil is bright red and vegetation a lush technicolor of pinks, oranges and the most amazing green you could imagine.

I think I'm going to enjoy the seclusion for a while. I've got a room where I can get back to my yoga and we have a little kitchen to do our own breakfast and evening meal. Hopefully I'll get back online in the next month to update you all!
