Ironically the sun is shining today….. I say ironically because for the last few days it hasn’t been shining at all, and on the day that I chose to write about all the rain we’ve had, the sun has come out!

You may recall that we had a very dry summer, from the month of June until well after the harvest we hardly saw a cloud, and you could count the number of rainy days that we had on one hand. Finally it would appear that normality has been restored, the rainfall simply demonstrating why Galicia is the most verdant corner of Spain.

I really just wanted to write so that I could post this picture of our new pool at the front of the Bodega – for a few moments it seemed like a monsoon was sweeping over our area leaving our roads momentarily more like rivers.
