The girls have made it – surviving their first term in a Spanish school and Simon and I are feeling very proud of them. The finale was the Nativity play where we watched Madeleine perform her part as a servant to one of the Three Kings, (click below to watch the directors cut). Unfortunately Yve didn’t have a chance to show off her singing as her teacher decided the day before that her class hadn’t been good enough and wouldn’t be able to participate! Thank goodness none of them seemed that bothered.
While snow is causing havoc in the UK and the rest of Northern Europe, we are having the most torrential rain which is causing flooding and damage to the local roads and bridges. Our house doesn’t seem to be very watertight either with water dripping through the skylight and windows.
We had a lovely Christmas Day with Granny, Jeremy and Pits, the rain briefly letting up for a fabulous walk and a successful meal.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our Blog watchers and thanks for all your support over the past couple of months.
Merry Christmas to you.
ReplyDeleteWe have suffered quite badly here in Fornes with the rain. The Sierra Officials came on Wednesday and began the process of closing the two bridges into the village but the Mayor pleaded to keep them open, luckily they did. The back road out of the village had collapsed so we would have been stuck!
We went to Rio Gordo for Christmas Day (in a 4 x 4) and had the journey from hell as we traversed an unmade road that looked more like something from Mongolia in the “Long Way Round”, terrifying stuff! All our drinking water here has turned quite muddy too but as the local supply of bottled has dried up we have resorted to drinking it now. See you in the New Year…….
Extraordinary Madeleine Wow so impressed you are doing so well at Spanish I wish I understood what you were saying .
ReplyDeleteThe water looks a bit like the Bulloo river in flood had 32ml on Christmas day so very happy would like some more but could rain tomorrow so X your fingers
