is a salutary reminder of the wisdom of the old local saying Hasta el 40 de mayo no te quites el sayo (roughly, don’t take off the pinny until the 40th of May) It’s grey, cold, somewhat damp and flipping freezing. A nasty comedown from the 33ºC of the weekend.

What lovely weather

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

As the rest of Europe freezes, and western Andalucía is swept out of sea (terrible floods), at 8:30 this morning it was 20ºC, according to my car.

And should the mood take me, within 2 hours I could be in one of Europe’s largest ski resorts.
