I remember being so excited when my first ever article for Decanter Magazine was published (in print) for their March 2019 Spain issue. Later on it was also published online. But of course it’s been a while and there have been a lot of changes happening here and everywhere, so finally I was asked to update my piece and, well, here it is!

Pics of Plaza San Francisco taken yesterday evening. For the first time ever the Corpus Christi procession has been cancelled due to rain. Normally I would have been up and out at the crack of dawn today to walk the route (pre-procession) before the crowds hit and then sleepily look for somewhere to have breakfast.
I’ve always loved doing this. The only times I’ve missed it in thirty years was when I was sick on chemo and twice when I was out of town (and the two years it was cancelled due to Covid). Hasta la próxima… Corpus Christi Sevilla

On my way home today I saw two girls in Avenida de la Constitución giving some water to this lil dude. He was on the pavement next to this orange tree. So I stopped and talked to them and they said they had found him lying on the tram tracks (!!!) and brought him over to the side of the road and gave him water, but they were afraid his wings were damaged because he didn’t seem able to fly.
So I explained that this was a young swift (well, maybe it was a swallow or martin) and that they are only able to fly from a height to catch an air current, they can’t fly up from the ground. I suggested we put him up in the tree and told the girls that these guys are actually good climbers, so he should be able to get up high enough to take off again once he rested up. But man, he looked so worn out and I felt terrible leaving him there. I hope he makes it.
