Merry Christmas Balcony.

Thanks David, hope you have a very happy Christmas.

I wish you, Klahanie & Sheila, a happy Christmas & New Gardening Year 2025.

Thanks David, have a lovely time over the Christmas break. I look forward to 'chatting' with you on GoY in 2025.

Just found this Balcony! Hope you had a good one.

Just got back from 14 days away in Spain! Before you, or anyone else asks, it wasn't warm but it was very sunny until our last couple of days.

As is typical of Spain in the winter we were affected by the Azores anticyclone which brings many days of very stable weather conditions & clear, beautifully dark blue transparent skies, (which I miss so much living in the UK!), the days are very sunny & the nights very starry but also very cold. Only the last few days did night temps rise above 0C, in fact most days began with -3 or -4C! There was a yellow warning for low temps all the time we were there with as much as -6C forecast for many of the nights. But for a few hours in the afternoon temps got as high as 12-14C!

We had a few drops of rain while we were still in Cuenca on Friday evening but as we were in Madrid, (not by choice as we missed our flight on Saturday morning & had to stay till Monday morning), for Saturday & Sunday there was more rain.

David, I am pleased you had a lovely festive break in Cuenca, sorry you missed your flight home though. Happy New Year to you and your family.

My cousin came over to see me and had lived in Spain for 22 years and was telling me about the weather.
I suppose we all think if we go abroad it will be good weather!

Thank you, Shirley!

I lived the better part of 30 years in Spain all told, Rose! I don't miss the terrible heat of some summers or the terrible cold of some winters! I miss most of all the deep blue transparent skies - both of summer & of winter!
