We have now had at least a couple of weeks with no rain – unbelievable, the temperatures are starting to soar and it feels like we are living in a different place. All the kids in the village are back playing in the streets and Yve and Madeleine are so much happier.
I must count how many blog entries there have been about oranges! er – quite a lot I think! I promise this will be the last mention. Yesterday we had the Orange fiesta and I was trying to remember that ditty about life being perfect if the food was French, the lovers Italian, trains run by the Swiss and everything was organised by the Germans, but I couldn’t quite remember what the Spanish were famed for. Lets just say that organisational skills are not the Spaniard’s forte! We have a small clip below of the audience participation slot in the marquee, which everyone seemed to be thoroughly enjoying. We thought the English equivalent where the locals participated quite so enthusiastically would be the fruit and veg contest at the village fete.
This is a great little film. You must think I am a terrible neighbour not getting in touch, but like you we have been aghast at the earlier weather and wondering if we have done the right thing in coming back at the beginning of March at all! It is so depressing to be not only cold but damp too. We had a real struggle getting hold of dry wood for the fire - our only heating!
