¿Dónde estás?


Campanula glomerata is one of the stars of the show at the moment [click to embiggen]

This weekend has finally seen the UK "turn the corner", weather-wise, it seems. Two consecutive sunny days spent pottering and enjoying the fruits of our hard labour in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers - June is indeed busting out all over, and we love it!

In keeping with the "Sunday mood", how about a little something from another of our "house bands", Pink Martini?

That'll do nicely...

¿Dónde estás, dónde estás, Yolanda?
¿Qué pasó, qué pasó, Yolanda?
Te busqué, te busqué, Yolanda
Y no estás, y no estás Yolanda
Y no estás, y no estás Yolanda

Me dicen que paseabas
en un carro Yolanda.
Muy guapa y arrogante
y todos te silbaban.

Si un día te encontrara,
no sé que puedo hacer.
No sé me vuelvo loco
si ya no te vuelvo a ver.
¿Dónde estás, dónde estás, Yolanda?
¿Qué pasó, qué pasó, Yolanda?
Te busqué, te busqué, Yolanda
Y no estás, y no estás Yolanda
Y no estás, y no estás Yolanda


Indeed.

  2. One of our all-time favorite songs. Every time we meet someone named Yolanda, we start to sing. You make glorious choices for your extensive gardens.

    1. It's a song that really makes me wish I could dance properly!

      That Campanula was a spur-of-the-moment purchase, and it has paid off in spades. Jx

  4. We have had wall to wall sunshine for a while now - very nice! But does this mean July or August will be the opposite?!! I worry.
    Very frothy tune!

      PS "Frothy"? Isn't that a Cresta advert?
