Here we are, 2 weeks on since I last wrote and complained about the weather we are getting in Spain and apart from 3 days in has rained every day since.
We tell everyone that when it rains it often torrences and is a deluge but if you haven’t witnessed it is impossible to believe exactly what […]
The rain in Spain obviously does not just fall on the plain!
During the night of Wednesday 7th May we had the most fantastic storm and at 5am we were sitting on the terrace sipping a cup of tea while being entertained by a most spectacular lightening storm over the sea and the mountains. These storms are […]
We’ve just arrived back at our villa in Spain after spending most of April in the UK. Whilst there we experienced every weather pattern that exists - frost, snow, hailstones, rain, wind and sunshine. Having said that the weather was overall not too bad although not nearly as good as April last year.

I am delighted to report that Peter has finally finished the construction of our mountain garden. Last week, 6 years from the start of his project, the last stone went into the last dry stone wall and the last bed was prepared for planting and it is looking good. Peter should be proud of his […]
On the 14th October when I wrote about the terrible storms here on the Costa Blanca on the 11th and 12th, we thought that it was all over apart from the clearing up operations and the poor affected thousands of people trying to get their lives, homes and belongings back in order.
I have heard some […]
In 2005 I wrote about the Gota Fria in my blog and made a comment that it was wonderful to see rain after 9 months without any. At that time it was welcome not only for our pretty gardens but in particular for the farmers and their crops and of course for lack of water […]
