Well your brother-in-law should be proud of that garden - it's fantastic - very tidy and there's so much produce. Yes it must be great to be able to see the mountains again after that dust cloud lifted.

Thank you,Jenny!
Please accept my apology for deleting the duplicate of this photo where you had a message on it! I've been having uploading problems recently, as well as mapping problems and other stuff too!

Yay!

I quite like 'Yay!' Steve but can you explain what it means (to an ignorant Anglo!), please!.
By the way, did anyone ever tell you that you looked a bit like The Eclectic Beard? (If in doubt, ask me!).

A quaint Americanism for "hooray", I guess! (Y'all don't use it?) With respect to the disappearance of the calima!

OK, I'll ask! (Wikipedia's no help...)

Thanks, Steve. I am a scintilla more the wiser!
Did you see the addition I made to my first reply?

A wonderful garden and location. Gardening is such a talent. Interesting re. the history of poppy fields.

Thank you Gillian.
Other Ipernites have been following this. Back in 2013 - 2015, I used to come to Algete visiting my sister and her family (not here, a flat in town then) and in mid May I would make a point of going for a walk in these fields and take masses of photos of the carpets of poppies! Then in 2016, they didn't reappear and we discovered that the farm had changed hands and modern farming practices were being adopted and this entailed eradicating the poppies which, apparently, are poison if they get in the grain harvest. I'm no farmer so have to rely on hearsay. But now I live here and it's sad not to see the poppy fields of old!

He's one of these You Tube types, reviewing videos, opining on cultural differences, old comedy clips, etc - in his case specifically quirks in the differences between US and UK culture. He just happens to be one of the more intelligent and interesting personalities of the genre. In fact I dislike most of them so the odd honest soul stands out a mile!

Excellemment rendue avec cette magnifique profondeur.
Bonne semaine.

Many thanks, Malik!

Ah. I'll look him up. My son is big into some of the YouTube commentators (Nostalgia Critic floats up), but I haven't gotten into following them. (Despite my copious spare time... ;)

Marvelous capture! Stay well!
