Rain!

It has finally started to rain in Gran Alacant, after months of sweltering heat and not a drop of water in sight. Waking up this morning was a joy; it felt so cool. It has been a long time since we last saw water falling from the sky; so unlike in Britain, it's time to get outside in ones underwear and have a dance; photographs I will not be including in this entry.

I have lived in Spain for nineteen months now; experiencing the coldest winter this country has endured for fifty years plus, hailstones, flooding and damp like you wouldn't believe and now the hottest summer. Over this period, my body has finally adjusted to this new climate, so different to the weather back in the UK. Despite the intense sun, this summer has been far easier to withstand, than the last. If you were to ask me now, which country I  prefer to live in, based on weather alone, I would have to say Spain. Despite initially not being a fan of the hot sun, I have grown to love the long hot summer days; a smile on everyone's face and that feel good factor in the air. Rain is Okay, just in small doses, unlike the deluge we suffered in Britain. My ailments and arthritis have all but disappeared, as I now live a life more conducive to good health. Gran Alacant has its own micro climate, surrounded by mountains and salt lakes, making it one of the healthiest places to live in the World.

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, enjoy your day, rain or shine; I know I will!
