Spain and & UK travel

As mentioned in last post my visit to Andalusia region of Spain was sharing same passion of botanical printing with like-minded people.  By chance of meeting Carmen and Ana I also explored in the nearby towns and villages in Cordoba and Malaga. It's March warm and  longer daylight allows to see more outside.  Brilliant weather during the period I stayed and stunning views of blooming flowers made me excited.
Gardens and avenues lined with cherry blossoms and sorts of unknown flowers to me.

 My first stop was Montilla after two hours train ride from Madrid to Cordoba. Carmen picked me up from station.
Nice meal in Carmen's restaurant
There are lots of vineyards and olive groves in the village
A small town center of the village
I took a day to Cordoba by bus to the old quarter for a leisure walk
The Great Mosque is a must see sight

The Roman Bridge reflects its Roman past

After Cordoba I headed to meet Ana in Malaga 
We share the same passion of eco printing

We also rode along the Mediterranean coast in Malage

Say hi and stay......
In south Spain is relaxing 
A day out to Frigiliana is another nice stroll, a town known for its Moorish old quarter and narrow streets and twisted stairways. 
 
One of the most beautiful villages in Spain
People live in peaceful environment.  Each house looks like an exhibition.

 After Malaga I left for London for catch-ups

 Though weather was not too good in the first day I managed to meet friends and visited museums

Hanging art piece of glass chandelier in V&A color tone of the woven scarf Olena gifted me
The following days in London became sunny and bright
 Cherry Blossoms in St. James Park is gorgeous
 
 A short swirl visit London has to call it a day and time to back home
  
 My yellow flower journey to Spain is fruitful filled with warm friendship

London trip 倫敦之行

After my days in Ireland, I back to London for the quiet stay with my very good friend Corrina.  I'm no more a tourist I just like to explore a little this time.  
離開愛爾蘭便回到倫敦,此行旨在與好友聚舊,倫敦於我已不什新鮮,隨意的騎行優遊及與小女孩做做小手工。

Leisure on wheels through Green Park to Trafalgar Square

Guard on 4-legged and we're on 2-wheel through Mayfair
Cutty Sark is spacious for the ride
  

A good day to catch up with Elena in Kew Garden.  Elene is my friend we learnt in Spain last year for eco printing.  The variety of plants and leaves are very interesting to us.  We guessed which yell pigments which not.  Kew Garden is huge that we only saw part of it.  May be next time we can explore more. 


Staying in Corrina's house with her girl Tiffany was most happy.  I showed her to make wool felt flowers and nuno felt scarf as well eco prints of recycled packing paper.



A batch of eco-printed papers for poems writing for the girl
 Corrina and I walked up the hill for the last glimpse of the village, taller and modern buildings are in the far end. 

The shy little ones approaching me and say goodbye.
My leisure UK and Ireland travels ended.  
In a few days I am on road again to Canada for teaching.  I will have some friends reunion and interaction as well.  That will be an exceptional travel from Toronto to Vancouver.  Wish the weather do me kind.
倫敦天氣對我不薄,很和暖,最後一天走上山丘與湖溿天鵝説再見。
幾天後再行裝上路往加拿大教學遊,希望彼岸天氣不太冷,紅葉舞秋風!
