The normal bright luminous blue skies have been replaced by dramatic dark threatening ones!



The weather has continued to play havoc over the last week with continued thunderstorms and heavy rain. It is one of the most prolonged wet periods since 1992 causing damage to the areas agriculture notably to the vines where one of our friends has lost 30% and also to the cherries, both damaged by the high winds. Our Olive trees are about to blossom and it is critical that they are not damaged at this time.

In the meantime our plot is saturated and this is the back of the house - we will be living here in just under 4 weeks!



More rain heads our way!



At least our 100 year old roof tiles are being cleaned bringing out there colour & character.


Two of the three pallets of plaster sit in the rain! thank fully they are protected and the plasterer finally starts on Monday, he expects to be there for 5 weeks!



The roof to the upper terrace has at last been added to the second house (to protect from the rain ha ha )whilst our friends have parked there camper for a month or two - we may yet end up using it!


These are our cherries in the garden, sadly a combination of the wind and rain many have been ruined.
