The rain in Spain
We’ve got my son Edmund staying for the first week of the Easter holidays, and it’s fantastic to have him here. Unfortunately the new flat was not quite ready on time to move in to, so we’re still in rented accommodation, but he doesn’t mind in the slightest. We took Edmund round to see the renovation work yesterday and he ran around like a mad thing saying “I want to stay here forever”. So far we’ve had a great “quality time” period (i.e. we haven’t done much) and that’s been largely due to the weather. It has been unusually cold (around 12-14 degrees) here for the last few weeks and we’ve had a lot of rain which has been continuing into this week. This weather is all over Spain according to the news bulletins and I’m pretty sure that the reservoirs will soon be hitting record levels for this time of year, which will be a major relief given that they had been predicting water shortages just a few weeks ago. Anyway, when the weather picks up we’ll get out and head for Port Aventura or Tibidabo with the lad.
