Ides of March.

[Bierzo Baggie]

Remember Fish? Remember Marillion? Remember Kayleigh?

“Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square?
Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair.”

Well it turns out that cherry blossom it ain’t (that comes out later). They are all almond trees in bloom, pinks and whites which emblazon the hillside above Toral de Merayo with fantastic colour. Repeating Thursday’s route (but in the opposite direction) I find the track confetti strewn in places and the sweet smelling yellow flowers of the mimosa trees are out as well. The fleeting beauty of Spring in Bierzo….

“Do you remember dancing in stilettos in the snow,

Errr… I try not to.
Fish was a big, fat lad with a mullet wasn’t he?
