We had proper Extremaduran rain yesterday. The sort of bucket-being-poured-over-the-head rain that we have a couple of times a year. And yet again, this saw us at the back door gazing out at the torrents descending from the blackening sky.…
Well, what a long time since my last blog post. I’d like to say that it was because we were doing lots of exciting things, however we’ve instead been working really hard on our own projects. We also spent some…
