I just realised that I hadn't mentioned on my blog about my lovely trip to Seville over Easter. It was totally wonderful from the Semana Santa (Holy week) celebrations, to the delicious tomato salads to the air that smelt so strongly of orange blossom and rosemary. But the most wonderful thing about the trip was possibly the countryside outside of Seville, especially around El Real de Jara. I had thought Spain was arid and rugged, so it was a complete surprise to see lush green fields and the most beautiful meadows overflowing with flowers. There was wild lavender everywhere, sprinkles of white across the fields because they were full of daisies, yellow flowering bushes that looked almost like oncidium orchids, dry stone walls, and fields full of grazing cattle and little black pigs. It would be hard not to be inspired by a meadow full of purple, yellow and white flowers being visited by bees and cabbage butterflies, so expect meadows to crop up in some anzu designs before the year is out!
