Autumn

Nice sunset.

The weather has finally turned, still great, but no longer hot and dry, I look forward to seeing this all under water in the next few weeks

Spring time

I took this photo around May this year while walking the dog, the house is just visible in the centre. Right at the foot of the trees you can make out a corner of the house, but of course what really stands out is Almanzor with snow, albeit only a sprinkling, still it was May

It's nice to see it all so green and fresh

Follow the yellow brick road

Para los que no sabéis llegar a casa

Si vienes por la A5 tienes dos opciones,

1. la salida 123 hasta Candeleda,
2. la salida 135 hasta Candeleda

(Si vienes por la M-501 es todo recto hasta el desvió)

La primera opción es mejor carretera, la segunda opción es menos carretera secundaria..

En ambos casos llegaras a la cruz AV-910 con la CL-501, desde ahí el desvió es 1.1 Km, desde el desvió hasta el camino de tierra es 1.2 Km, y desde que empieza el camino hasta casa es 1 Km  Si quieres usar google maps estos son los coordinadas 40.119483, -5.247038 solo tienes que introducir los en google maps

Sigue el camino señalado en amarillo "The Yellow brick road"

La primera parte esta "Asfaltada", la parte en verde es de tierra o baro si llueve :-)

Os animo a que llegáis temprano para disfrutar del campo.

La "comida" (gastronomía local) estar lista a partir de las las 2:30.

Solo tenemos 10 sillas así que si puedes, traer sillas, o si hace sol una manta de campo. Si llueve traer paraguas y botas de goma, la comida hay que comerla si o si :-)

Si os perdéis, llámame y haré señales de humo :-)

A wet January

At last after a very dry 2015, January 2016 has brought some serious rain, unfortunately who ever runs the weather station in Candeleda must have goon on holidays so the official numbers are useless but from what I can gather from neighboring regions we are talking in excess of 230 liters..these photos where sent to us by Aurora, wish we had been there

Missing - Mika

This is the last photo I have of Mika, we've not seen her since this was taken on the 9th of September 2015

We are all very sad :-(

This is what the inside of a hot water tank looks like when the anode has been eaten away

and this is what a wooden floor looks like after a hot water tank with a corroded anode looks like after it's had water pouring over it for about two weeks

yep, no floor boards
