Matanza

 So at last Les gets to attend a Matanza. Given that he grew up in a town he never had the experience of everybody coming to help you butcher your pig. Saturday we were in the English Chat group in El Burgo de Osma finishing almost in time to see the deed done.
Unlike an Orkney butching, this event had music, costumes and bonny bowls for the bowels.
They didn't ask us to stay behind and wash the intestines so instead we went into the Pig Museum which boasts over 7,000 pigs from all over the world - a collection to rival Julie Hagans!

    Is that the blue dress you got from Janet & Sarah?

    Ha ha yes - very like it but no. It actually looks like the blue overalls we had to wear for craftwork at college (Kraftwerk, ja?)
