This year, it’s not too early to go to the fantastic street carnival, Las Fallas, which takes place in Valencia in February and March every year. You’ll find fanciful figures, fireworks and fun. But if travelling’s still tricky, we can join this pair of oddballs on their motorbike, whom I found a few years ago in the museum devoted to this special festival.
For Becky’s Square Odds
With thanks to Sue of Words Visual, for reminding me about this doughty pair of old crones,
ah I saw this on my my miniscule phone screen on Saturday, can really appreciate now. So which one is Sue and which one is you?!!!!

Sue’s the speed merchant, or was back in the day. So she’s in charge!

A great oddity, Margaret. Glad Sue reminded you.
Have you been to Las Fallas?

Sadly, I’ve never been there at the right time of year, so the Museum had to make do. You?

No, me neither. Sounds a crazy event, so must try it sometime. I’ve been to La Mercè in Barcelona when Rachel was very young and always wanted to go back but it never fit with school holidays and now usually clashes with a longer trip somewhere else.

It sounds like great fun. I haven’t established yet which festivities are on this year. I know our Carnival processions are cancelled again. Maybe Spain will be bolder. I’m hoping for a normal Easter.

Apparently this one will take place, but over a longer time period, so perhaps that’s a crowd-management thing. Who knows?

How exciting to visit the street carnival and with work like this you’ll have a fabulous time. The expressions of the two motorbike figures are terrific… one can start creating the story around it, what is ahead, is the lady on the back clutching a bible … enjoy the event, Margaret! 😀

I don’t actually know what she’s clutching. A prayer book might be good!

Wonderfully odd, but I think you are teasing us. Would that be Liz Truss with Nadine riding pillion?

I’m not having that. The woman riding pillion looks quite nice.
