Winter....?

Well what can I say.....? Winter is upon us and we are still having some great weather. Snow has settled on the mountains and there are terrific views of the Picos de Europa in the distance. Weather generally warm during the day (18 avg) and cool at night - some rain but mostly fine. We are busy in the garden as ever, planting shrubs, a pear tree, 3 peach trees and an avocado seedling (from our neighbour)- they grow well here. We continue to collect wood for the fire and have been given 3 old apple trees that we are gradually felling and cutting up for the stove. It is hard work as they are very mature trees and big to handle. Luis is still teaching english and we are in negotiations with a lawyer regarding some work he wants us to be involved with.....watch this space.
