JERTE VALLEY IN BLOOM

This is my garden.

Click on the photos to see them better.

always wanted a house with a porch and a garden, but I have a house with a balcony and many windows from which to contemplate the larger garden anyone can have.

A gift up, get out to the terrace and admire the views all day.

And I can not show you are the chirping of birds that begin at seven in the morning as a tune to wake up.

We are in a good time after the winter where everything is asleep, comes to life, spring in the Valley of Jerte is marked by the flowering of the cherry. The cherry trees opening their wake white flowers and light filling the valley slopes. Flowers yet beautiful, delicate, which fill the air with its sweet scent. Flowering in the Valley of Jerte usually lasts 10 to 15 days depending on the weather. In those days we celebrate the cherry blossom festival has been declared of national touristic interest.

Flowering Cherry is visited by thousands of people throughout Spain and some from abroad. Many tourists who come to see the Pylons, a stretch of the Gorge of Hell. As curiosity I will say that this weekend has increased from 5 to 6 thousand people in this place, crazy, unless evil that is called Nature Reserve, if not ... poor thing.

The white flowers with soft blue highlights of the spring.

Flowering cherry give way to, the collection of this fruit population lives mainly in the Valley. Our cherry is very rich and has a designation of origin, but that'll tell you another time.

Tourists come to see the Jerte Valley and through the port of Tornavacas, north of the province, are impressed with the image of a lush green forest, consisting of cherry, chestnut, oak, poplar, olive, orange and a variety of fruit. Do not think they're in Extremadura since this is reputed to dry and warm.

Jerte The Valley consists of 11 villages and were originally settled beton, Romans, Arabs, Jews who left part of their culture in these municipalities. As an anecdote of my pueblo, Jerte,  deciros que los franceses lo quemaron en 1809, quedaron en pie la casa del Pastelero (ahora casa de cultura) y la Iglesia. Jerte, como el ave fénix, volvió a resurgir de sus cenizas con muchas penalidades y esfuerzo.

Bueno, he aprovechado para contaros un poquito de historia de la zona en la que vivo y en la que me siento a gusto. Ahora, a lo que nos tiene en conexión a todas nosotras, el mundo del Patchwork. A continuación os enseño mis últimos trabajos.


El primero es el bloque del Dear Jane que propuso Georgina, the A6:

And the second is the third in the Polka Dot Girls, when you look a little you will see that I have put a more Polka, embroidering, and a kitten crouched.

And with that ended up today, another day I will tell you more, I hope that you will not have bored a lot.
