May 2010

After the dreadful winter during which incessant rains have filled the reservoirs to overflowing, we're now into something more like the climate for which the region is famed. I arrived in mid May, and it hasn't stopped sunshining after a week and a half. The geraniums in the pots on the patio wall are in full flower, and the vine has more grapes then ever after I gave it a drastic pruning.

This week I took the major step of buying a bike, and can now be seen pottering up and down the Paseo Maritimo of an evening in a desperate attempt to get some exercise.
