I'm quite proud of my little citroen tho - bless it, its bravely driven thru water, mud, potholes, slid in and out of ditches.... and I dont treat it aprticularly well

jo becareful about driving across flooded fords. My husbands cousin got washed down river when crossing a flooded ford in the Uk and was drowned. He used that same crossing for years but misjudged how deep it was that one time and paid for it with his life PLEASE do not take any silly chances.

Thanks Veronica, dont worry I'm not going out again for a few days now - well obviously if it dries up I will!! I need nothing from the outside world now, plenty of ciggies, dog food, drink, food, so we're stocked up - well maybe we should have a spare gas bottle, but its just started raining here again, so I'll not bother lol

if you walk to the end of our road, you can actually see the instituto my dd goes to, but on more than one occaision recently she's been rained in - the rain comes down off the mountain & turns our street into a raging river!

Guess what!! I've just seen a little snow here - for the first time in yonks!! OK, it's raining cats and dogs, but suddenly the wind got up and we had a little snow shower. Of course, it's not settling - but one can dream!! We've been watching the UK news v carefully as my parents are due to fly back to the SE next week - nice to look at, but absolute mayhem.

Stay safe, Jo!!

Good grief, you are really suffering in the deep south this year, aren't you??
I've just got back from 12 days in Bilbao where there was the typical fine drizzle, but it wasn't really cold and rainy until today.
On the journey back there were the usual dire warnings on the radio of snow all over the place, and we did have snow coming over the mountains in Somosierra, but they always have snow ploughs there, and there really wasn't too much snow around.
And here we are, home again, with not a snowflake or drop of rain in sight - YET!!
Take care all of you down there!!

hi all my children came over from the uk for xmas and new year, they where SWIMING IN THE POOL on 28th of december can you believe that, rained all day yesterday and overnight has stopped now, sun due later and then ok for a week watched all the weather for spain and uk a hard winter for all every where, well except here think we have been very very lucky.

I would have swam through the water for ciggies though lol hope the weather gets better for all of you xxxx
