The weather has begun to get a bit colder here in Andalucia. The waterproof magnetic draught excluder I made to fit the gap between the two doors is definitely working well, as is the one I made for the bottom of the door.
It has been snowing in the sierras, and the mountains look very picturesque from our terrace, where it is warm in the sunshine during the day :)

Spanish Christmas and lemon curd
Happy Spanish Christmas..
It was the day of the kings in Spain yesterday. When everyone recieved their presents from the three kings, the equivalent of santa, so it was a relaxing bank holiday day here.
Carmen, my spanish neighbour gave me a bag of fresh oranges and lemons so today I have just finished making a batch of lemon curd.
Mmm

Christmas in Competa
Oops!! Thanks to my sister Judy reminding me that I haven't posted anything on my blog for a while (she is not on facebook) I thought I'd update it.
Dave and I spent a lovely Christmas week with our daughter Lucy and her fiancé Mathew.
Dave and I were invited to attend Miguel's 50th birthday party, and so I painted a view of the bar for him. We ate out most of the time. We were lucky to have really good weather, did some shopping in Torre del Mar and watched lots of telly. We were sorry to see Lucy and Mathew both go back to the UK.
It has now been a week since they left, but the sun is still shining and we hope to see them again very soon.
Here are a few photos.
