There is snow on the near mountains, down to about 1700mtrs, this morning (see picture). It’s delightful sunshine, cold and the snow makes it seem very Swiss. We had a lovely peaceful night as well so we are feeling good. This afternoon, in a sheltered area, one could be out in shirtsleeves.
The JCB didn’t arrive yesterday or so far today, but he did say manana!!!
Elayne is going to give my hair a Christmas trim this morning, it’s only the third hair cut I have had since we left the UK.
We are then going to get scrubbed up and take a Christmas card and a bottle of wine over to our neighbouring two farmers. We have put in each card a slip of paper saying what we are doing with the house and wishing them etc, etc. We have translated it all into Spanish so we hope that they can read it all OK.
This evening we have been kindly invited to go out with Mags and Allen and their family and friends for a Christmas Eve meal at a place called The Willows restaurant over towards Albox. Another exciting new experience.
Ivan and Ollie together with thousands of other kids will be all hyped up today and then all the Mums will expect them to go to bed at normal time and go to sleep tonight, fat chance. I remember Christmas Eve night as being the very longest night of the year and being far too excited to sleep. It’s a big cruel trick that adults, who should know better, play on their children in revenge for what their own parents did to them.
