We’ve got another heatwave. A lot of Spain has a red warning. We have an orange warning. Goodness knows what it would be like in Seville where the big tall buildings trap the heat. Unbearable I guess. We always take…

We went back to the vet yesterday for another review meeting with Horace. Poor little chap, they were picking up his legs to see if he fell over. They did say they had seen a tiny improvement in him, but…

I trod on a snake in the bedroom last week. Which was a bit of a surprise. It was quite big and slithered off under the bed. Ian found it eventually and said it was ‘quite lively’ and difficult to…

I am not sure that Jane Fonda would be particularly impressed if she was to take a peek into our patio in the morning – and a good job we are not overlooked! Ian and I have decided to do…
