Juan's song, Click HERE
"Je t'aime, moi non plus"...(Merci The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain)...
The Farmacia in Pamplona is doing brisk business on this June Monday morning in Pamplona.
The sun was already warm as we'd walked in the shade of the ash trees along the river Arga, and over the Puente de la Magdalena.
We pause to admire the Catedral, and to buy some blister patches for our Copenhagen companion, Heidi.An elderly gent on the bench, who introduces himself as Juan, informs us that he is waiting for his carer.
There is a mildly diabolic twinkle of anticipation in his eye, and a smile on his face as he says something about "mejor que Viagra"...
Ten minutes later, Heidi emerges with a small package and a smile.
We collect Salado the Stick, and take a snap of the Farmacia as a keepsake.
Back home in France in October, as the photos are loaded from our clever little mobile 'phone onto the computer, the ash leaves are rustling golden outside the office.
It is only now that I see the bigger picture.
And the reason for Juan's grin three months before.
