THE EVIDENCE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!

I DEFINATELY have two teenagers in residence... even without actually seeing them,can you tell?

I have to confess to not even have looked into their bedroom...but given that it's Kirsty's room, it can't actually be any worse than it normally looks when occupied!!

I'm enjoying spending time with  them, as I usually only see them for 'flying visits' when I'm in Scotland...mum and dad are enjoying having them here too, as although they see them more often than I do, it's not for as long spells as when they were little.

The older niece is the one who turns 18 next month, and it's her album I've been making...I'm glad to say she has told me she 'loves' it, even though there are still a few pages to do. I'm hoping to get these done over the next few days, and then it will go safely home with her..though I think  I'll have to lend her a little case to take back as hand luggage, as it is quite a weight!

Hope you're all having a good weekend..and have perhaps seen a little sunshine?

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you

SUMMER'S COMING!......

.....or maybe I should say' Winter's over!', just so as not to tempt fate too much.


How do I know?.....I have gone from

to

to

on our tiled floors!

During Winter, the tiles are like ice-blocks but I am now able to walk around barefoot on them- a sure sign that the worst of our cold weather is over! I have mentioned before that Spanish houses are not built to keep the heat in..in fact the exact opposite- so there is no insulation. This means that for about eight weeks the houses are FREEZING, and of course, the lack of carpet doesn't help.  Even with the central heating on for a few hours a day, the houses never really heat up properly.

 I'm not sure whether I'm beginning to acclimatise to the heat, or whether we have had a particularly cold Winter, but this is the first year I have worn a heavy jacket  (outdoors I mean...it's not THAT bad indoors!) and thought that I need to stock up on some' winter woolies' for next year!

We can't be sure that the weather has settled quite yet...last year we had dreadful weather over Easter, whilst the UK basked in sunshine, so you never can tell. 

I hope the sun is shining wherever you are today...I know that when I spoke to mum and dad yesterday, even THEY were having sunshine and heat!

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you
