We had met Kathie, John and their daughter Amy at a recent wedding we had all attended and they had kindly invited us out to visit them at their house. So this morning we left Olvera for the short twenty minute or so drive south to Los Villalones John had advised us of the location but warned that if you blinked we would miss the village. Of course we did and duly ended up ringing John for directions. Amy met us on the road and we drove up to the house which was in a stunning location amid surrounding farmland. This is the entrance to the house, surrounded on one side by a carpet of flowers.
John and Kathie bought the house about three years ago when it was derelict and have been slowly restoring it and turning it into a lovely home. Along the way they have also managed to adopt five cats.
This is the view of the outside patio, providing welcome shelter from the heat of the day.
Amy, Anne, Kathie and John.
The view of the house as we were leaving, giving an idea of it's isolation.
We had a really nice time drinking coffee, eating cake and biscuits and generally putting the world to rights. Before we knew it, nearly three hours had passed so we thought we had better head off home.
They are a smashing family and we look forward to meeting up again soon.
