Re: Back in Time

I know just what you mean, fawlty. Yesterday we went to a friend's finca for lunch. It's like stepping back in time. Then we went to look at an old house that another friend had restored, to what it was like, over 100 years ago. Modern conveniences like fridge, freezer, cooker, but camouflaged behind authentic looking cupboards.

BTW, for non Spanish speakers, a finca is a small farm, for growing crops. As we walked up to it, we were picking the plums and oranges, straight from the trees, to eat as we walked.
