This morning I jumped out of bed full of the joys of Spring to notice that there was something distinctly different; I couldn't put my finger on it at first then it hit me, I was feeling something I hadn't felt since March this y ear...cold!! the days are getting shorter and of course I get up at the same time every morning so slowly it's getting darker and colder, I'm not going to complain as we are heading for November and I'm still in shorts and tee shirts but! I am going to hunt out my jeans and fleeces just in case. Mostly the days are still gorgeous and it does warm up by mid morning but we are now looking at temperatures in the mid 20's instead high 30's and low 40's, The local beach at Gandia is now open to November from march which a a long season and a week ago I took a trip to the beach and there are still holiday makers there.
Three weeks ago we had the local policeman come round and ask us very nicely to not park our cars around our street or drive here as the road works have started and sure enough a couple of big machines made their way up the hill and ripped up the surface of the road.
So for three weeks now we have parked our car a mile away in the centre of the village in a ca park, every-time we need to go shopping we have to walk tot he car that in itself is not the problem! the problem comes when we have a boot-full of shopping and we can't get near the house and we have to unload bit by bit and drag it up the hill to our Casa. After a week this becomes more than a pain int he bum after three weeks some of the locals have moved the cones out of the way and have threaded their way through the potholes and wet cement as they are fed up too but today it looks like something might actually be starting to happen, we wait with bated breath!
