Remember I told you about the next-door-but-one neighbour who had been confined to the campo by the Guadia Civil? He’s back!! The three months are up. He has just appeared, with a replacement bike, top of the cul-de-sac.

He is fresh, clean, dried out, hair cut, coherent, clean pale yellow shirt, dark trousers, all 5′ nothing of him. And up to now, it is all quiet ‘on the Western front’ as regards the return of the wanderer to his wife.
