H. A. N. W. E. everyone from my new home

H. A. N. W. E. everyone from my new home
As of Sunday, I moved to my sister's home here in Algete, 40 km northeast of Madrid and with great views of the Sierra de Guadarrama. In the centre of the skyline is the craggy outline of La Sierra de La Cabrera, a favourite walking and scrambling area. At the bottom of the shot is the hen coop. Lovely fresh eggs for breakfast!

Andy Rodker club has replied to Jocelyne Villoing club
crêpes are fine and I sometimes make them but with a very fresh egg, lightly boiled, fried or poached would be best I think!

Oh wow! What a wonderful view and beautifully captured. Have you posted this before Andy? Not that I'm complaining, it just seems familiar "-)

I'm guessing you'll be much safer from the Corona virus now you're out of Madrid?

Andy Rodker club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thanks, Steve.
No, not this one but a few like it. The broad sweep of country and the skyscapes, make it irresistable! I try and post different weather aspects and there will obv be quite a few more to come!
I will be more exposed to the dreaded lurgy, not less, as I am having to go into Madrid central several times a week on public transport for medical things - hospital and clinic visits, which with my compromised immune system is not ideal!

Wow, Andy - I knew you liked visiting your sister, and I should think that with the current climate, teaching jobs are few and far between, so it only seems sensible to live with her. Apart from the fact that you can get amazing pictures of the view from her home. Superb sights

Thank you, Jenny.
Please see my reply to Keith, above.
I have an operation on my spine next week which will hopefully mean I'll be able to go walking in those mountains again (Covid restrictions permitting!).

Thank you, antje!
(I know you sent a Fb friend request but I have to say that I dislike FB quite a lot and don't use it if I can possibly help it; so I would be a useless Fb friend! I hope you understand! Sorry).

I am very happy to see your new home and am sure you will be happy there, and you can look at Sierra de La Cabrera... you will go back there soon this is over !!!

Andy Rodker club has replied to Xata club
I hope so! But I won't have a car* so it will take me even longer to get there! In to Madrid and them out again!
*Nor will I have a driving licence. Thanks to the shame and disaster that is Brexit, my EU driving licence expires at the end of this month and I can't apply for a Spanish one until my medical situation clears up, so I will need to pass a driving test and theory exam, and a new UK licence is impossible to get from here, and useless for the moment too! A dilemma! I will need to be able to drive in both countries at some point!

In PT foreigners have to change their licence for a Portuguese one when they are residents. It costs about 100euros... Hope you will solve this issue.

"Lovely fresh eggs for breakfast!" : hope you can also have bacon to keep the taste of your homeland! ;-)
A sumptuous panoramic view to be enjoyed every day...

Andy Rodker club has replied to Eric Desjours club
Thank you! Spanish bacon is not a patch on that from norhern Europe so I don't have it. Scrambled, poached or plain boiled egg is OK with me!
