Raining in the patio
I live in an old village house where unfortunately there is no garden but there is a nice patio and a lovely roof terrace. It's funny to imagine that years ago, the actual patio was where the animals were kept : the mule especially which was essential towards the work in the countryside.It's been raining since yesterday and the patio looks sad and in need of a good cleaning.
Leafing through the Spanish AD magazine, I was quite seduced by the very refreshing patio of Spanish designer, Miguel Angel Rodriguez in his little house in Seville.
Would love to imitate ! Ah...if I had greener fingers !
J'habite une vieille maison de village où malheureusement il n'y a pas de jardin. Mais, il y a tout de même un joli patio et une terrasse sur le toit très sympa. C'est amusant d'imaginer que dans le passé, le patio actuel était l'endroit où l'on gardait les animaux, la mule essentiellement qui était nécessaire pour les travaux des champs.
Il pleut depuis hier et le patio est tout triste et a besoin d'un bon coup de nettoyage.En feuilletant la revue AD espagnole, j'étais ravie de découvrir ce patio très frais, du designer Miguel Angel Rodriguez dans sa petite maison de Séville.
À imiter ! Hélas je n'ai pas la main verte !
Have a wonderful week endPassez un très bon week end

I getting fed up with the rain/cold weather in my part of Spain too! Although it is a good excuse to curl up indoors, with a good book.
We had sun today and more warmth, but the rain is due back on Monday. Good for the garden, but sun would be lovely as we have taken to wearing scarves indoors!
My daughter has a donkey path through their old Valencian house, leading to a patio which would once have housed the donkey. In fact only donkeys can really access her street - and people on foot.
It is a lovely feeling to know that the past is near and that other lives have trodden the same path and cared for the dwelling in an earlier time.
Feliz semana, Lala!
