Cork Oak country - star birds Hawfinch, Wryneck, Golden Oriole
Staying at a phantom brand new building (another one) which isn't on Google Earth - important when planning for a decent night's sleep. It is a Spanish-style 'outdoor centre', mostly focussed on eating indoors. The fabulous food is cooked in an industrial sized kitchen (for the industrial weekend crowds). Because it feels like a conference venue, we did our translation homework and shared, after much dictionary/phone/head scratching:Gambas
Champinones rellenos
Espinacas con garbanzos
Tortillitas de Camarones

House with wild flowers |
Frustrated by lack of paths - no paths actually. Spent the day on the little roads in the hills, locked out of every rambling opportunity by fences and more metal gates.
Bought a saucepan from an interesting hardware store for boiling eggs to liven up picnics.
Cut hair with bendy nail scissors...then found the hair-cutting scissors... And, yes Pete... I didn't have much to start with.
