On Sunday 12 November we all went to the remembrance day service at the British church and lay flowers and put crosses on the graves in the commonwealth war ceremony.
Immediately afterwards, we went to the San Martin feria in Derio - a kind of Basque (and perhaps all Spanish) harvest festival with all the harvest produce on sale. San Martin was traditionally the day on which the pigs are slaughtered for the chorizo et all for eating during the winter months.
Rosie joined in with the Basque country sports (see photos), so managed to jump from a traditional English activity (complete with hymns) to Euskal Herria activities without a blink of incongruity.
