A heavenly, green, smiley, lush weekend away in the mountains.
No writing, stressing, shouting or fannying around on electrical devices (apart from camera and a few pics via Instagram, I was camping not dead!) to be had.
I am now home, unpacked, wined-up and happy.
We got a few raised eyebrows from the locals at our stick carving escapades but only one laceration was to be had.
Not bad considering we had five overzealous young carpenters whittling away.
We scrambled up a valley and discovered an absolutely stunning little pool! Fab-u-lous!
We found frog spawn… Ughhhhhhhhhhh, no those are NOT my fingers!
We walked through the mountains and talked, sat and marveled at the beauty around.
The children also moaned, teased each other, stamped on a few tiny creatures and said a few bad words too…
My little hiking demon who managed to walk almost two hours without winging incessantly (he left that to his siblings). 🙂
Something beautiful and furry, which the children managed, remarkably, not to kill even after dropping it numerous times.
Yeah that’s our camp in the mountains of Gran Canaria.
How lucky did I feel right then…? DAMN LUCKY!
Finally, that’s for you.
A gift from Axel and me coz today we are so lovin’ life x

Hi Felicity, thanks for commenting! It isn’t all jolly hockey sticks though, we have our fair share of shouting, madness and tears too and that’s just me! 😉

It is beautiful up there, you would love it, I just know it.
Come over and I’ll take you! x 😉
Just gorgeous! I know that feeling after a weekend of fun like that. Tired but happy. Your lot look like a great bunch of campers. My post for the letter L was a day late too. Saturday was Bibsey’s birthday party and I just didn’t have a post in me at the end of the day! We are over half way through now!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL BIBSEY!
I had a quick peak at your post last night, I was smiling when I saw you skipped Saturday too. I think we deserve a slip after going this long, don’t you!
The children adore camping, it’s the freedom. They get to potter around doing as they please, without washing… result!

You are lucky! I miss the mountains, especially after looking at your photos. When young, I spent a couple of summers in the Rockies but haven’t been back in years.

Hi Joyce, thank you for commenting!
The Rockies…Wow, now those are mountains!
I felt lucky that weekend, I must say x
looks amazing and such a good time! deb xx
It was, and always is, a delight to be up in the mountains. The south of Gran Canaria is very barren and dry, it’s like another world up there x
Sold! I’ll be there on the next flight.
What a beautiful backyard paradise you have, you lucky, lucky Lemon. I certainly did not pick a mountain vista when I think of Gran Canaria. Brave kids holding special frog juice & that caterpillar thing. Eewwww.
Nice huh! The difference between the south of the island and the interior never ceases to amaze me!
The holding of wildlife is definitely Scandimans influence, I would rather gouge my eyes out thanks. The only wildlife you see me holding is a rabbit… from the butcher!

love it love it just bloody love it x stunning x
Thanks hun, impressive nature huh! x
I can tell u wot i’m NOT lovin today in this Pretty Shitty City – i’m not lovin being stuck indoors on a weekend in April when it’s too cold and far too wet and windy to venture out to our caravan!! Gran Canaria sounds like it’s the place to be!! (well certainly the best place to bring u’r little ones up in the great outdoors) Oh well – maybe next weekend……….
Oh Lynne thank you so much for commenting, great to see here. The weather is still pretty crap in the UK isn’t in, poor you! Fingers crossed for a good summer.
The outdoor life in Gran Canaria is certainly a bonus, we literally never have to worry about the weather, other than it getting to hot in the summer as we get hit by sand storms from the Sahara, which are hellish.
The downside of living here… my family are all in Swansea 😦
There’s good and bad to everything xxx
Looks like a fantastic weekend! I’m so glad I discovered your blog. It makes me smile:)) xo
Oh it was, sooooo lovely!
Very, very happy with that comment 🙂 thank you xxx
