Just a little walk today in Discovery Park to clear the cobwebs out of my brains .... and looked for signs of spring to keep me sane. Found 'em: skunk cabbage (swamp lanterns), some even in "flower", nettles pushing up through the duff, and Indian plum just beginning to come to life. It was almost warm in the sun. Karen

Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.
