I have often thought when I have set up the table for our games set in Spain that there was something missing, I recently visited
Pat Smith's Blog, and there was the answer, gardens/cultivation around the buildings.
Here is the first one, more to follow when time permits. No game this week, due to the Bank Holiday and
Dave and myself both having family commitments to attend to later in the week.

I have thought the same but not got around to doing anything about it yet. Mind you I normally stay clear of gardening.
ReplyDeleteWhen my wife came home and I said I had been gardening, I don't think this sprang to mind. I can recommend this sort George, very relaxing I found.
DeleteIf it's any help, my own observations from Southern Spain, are that everyday rural Spaniards grow their own lettuce, onions, tomatoes, carrots and potatoes etc when they can, often keeping chickens too if they have space.
ReplyDeleteCitrus fruits, olives and wild garlic can just be picked anywhere at no cost.
Urbanites typically have no space for gardens, unless they have a terraza near roof level and even then they prefer to use them for decorative/shade giving plants.
Thank you Jim. I have some chickens, time to get painting.
DeleteLooks just great Phil! I need to do the same thing!

Thank you Christopher. Get gardening.
DeleteThere's another idea I will blatantly plagiarise!
ReplyDeletePlag away Matt, I did :~)
DeleteLooking lovely Phil! I have to agree. It’s details like that which really lift a table from nice to outstanding.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nick, hope to get it on the table soon.
DeleteSounds great, and realistic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil.
DeleteAn excellent piece, should have more elevation though and then be posted on a Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention elevation.......
