Aha! Spring hath sprung...

Good morning all,

it's holiday season and spring cleaning season all in one at the minute. A couple of days ago I banged a hole through the girls' bedroom balcony (which is on the ground floor) and made access to the sizeable recess beneath. It's about shoulder height down there which, given the limited storgae available inside the house, has really opened up a few possibilities for making all our seldom used stuff invisible. Now to lower the floor, maybe lay some concrete, put in some steps and seal it to make it damp proof. Alternatively we buy some big plastic sacks!

Yesterday I also set about making space in the kitchen by resiting a cupboard. Haven't spent a penny yet so that's all good news. A few shelves and we might eventually get everything off the ground and be able to clean the place properly! It must be spring in the air that's doing it.

The weather turned beautiful midway through last month and although still with a chill in the air when the sun doesn't shine, things are really on the up. We have had several days over 25 degrees and today looks like being another one. There's been a north wind blowing the last two days and the weather was a bit off. Perhaps today we'll get some photographs done for putting on the blog. We need to post some images to show you all just how pretty it is around here. We hope to tackle our local hill next week on a walking outing which could provide a few pics. Puig Campana is taller than Ben Nevis by thiry metres! For the moment though we will stick to El Tossal which is a little lower than Chinnor hill! We'll go for a walk in the woods and see what the day can offer us.

Until later then!
