Snowy in Spain, all provinces under alert, under a white carpet.

Maybe nothing special for you, but for spanish everything slows down, huge traffic problems, big problems. Winter is hitting us, 4 degrees this morning when we woke up. During the day max 15 degrees, pretty cold in our not so well isolated houses. But a caldo and a carajillo keeps the doctor, the cold away.


On the photo, another try out to find a western site. Not the best this one. I want to try it out though. But the main thing is the nasty climb. Sharp rocks, eroded ground, tricky to walk up.

Big good old Hendrie arrived. It is the first time I saw him with decent pants on, cold eh ?
He usually attracts the whole village, walking around naked. Well naked, I mean when we still have our sweater on, he walks around in shorts and no-sleeve T-shirts, muscle shirt as they say in the US.


Our best sites in the region for this time of the year are closed because of "partridge hunting". And I just read that the prince of Holland, don't know his name but he looks very dutch ...., is visiting us. To hunt partridges ! And you know what ? In his own country Holland, it is forbidden to shoot partridges any more. Sick.


We have to be patient as I said before, but from sunday onwards it looks better again. Onshore winds.
