Of gardens and Granada

Saturday 3rd April. I spent the day with a friend, she loves gardens so we went to the garden centre, enjoyed walking round and choosing stuff, I bought lots of petunias, and two hanging plants, very pretty even though the name reminds me of skin disease(scabalona). I hung them under the porch next to the wind chimes and the easter eggs.
Sunday 4th April.
Surprise visit to Granada... it was a glorious technicolour day, the sun really warm and it was pleasant to sit on terrasses and watch the world go by , or wander through the old narrow streets of the Albaicin. Everything was bursting into leaf and flower, it seemed like nature was putting on a very special performance after the long miserable wet winter.
As we were walking we heard music, thought it was coming from one of the old houses, but as we rounded a corner, it turned out to be a young couple playing (later found out the instuments are called "hang", they originate in Switzerland and make gentle melodious ethereal music). They played beautifully and were lovely together, and when later we sat in a little plaza (and I had a glass of Moroccan mint tea) and listened to more music, the young couple stopped on their way down the hill to listen too . I couldn't resist taking a few photos of them.... ah, to be young and in love....
