And away...

Lynne of course was back in Cangas boat-sitting Dark Tarn. It wasn't all sun and fun as she insisted on telling me, it was Spanish holiday time and even our more out of the way beaches were crowded.

The council had also been busy on the public art front, decorating our usual walk from the park to the beach with new statues by a local artist. I think Lynne was less than impressed.

They supposedly represent Cangas and its relationship with the sea. I think the photo Lynne took of the children on the beach, part of a summer club, where the children are supervised on activities sums it up better.

Lynne was spending her time swimming and walking, taking advantage of not having a grumpy old man complaining about his knee along! she walked to one of our favourite spots , the beach at Limens. She sent me a photo of boats anchored just outside the designated swimming area (the yellow buoys )

The healthy lifestyle extended to Lynnes daily routine and she had taken up her regular yoga exercises and sensible eating, oats and banana for breakfast and a wholesome soup for lunch. Luckily we had discovered Eroski sold a selection of thick soups, most Spanish soup is of the watery variety.

Incidentally this is Lynnes first "selfie". Lynne rings me at least three times a day using our 3 to 3 minutes and has also discovered how to share photos, so it doesn't seem as if we are too far apart.
Lynnes social calendar was also very busy with a stream of British boats coming into the marina and her healthy lifestyle was constantly interrupted with invitations for drinks and lunches.
Also the time of year as well as being Spanish holidays was festival time. Assumption was marked with bands and processions,
Lynne also went to mass. in a more lighthearted vein, there was the festival of beer and a weeklong celebration of jazz music called imaginatively Canjazz.

To be honest Lynne assures me that the craft beer wasn't all that brilliant but the microbrewery business is still in its infancy in Gallicia.
There was also a festival of old cars.

There was traditional dancing.

and dancing to jazz in the squares...

And of course a week of Jazz music.

all in all, Lynne seemed to be coping on her own very well! and getting to grips with long distance communications and tech........
And of course there is always something happening in Cangas..........
