Well after the week of weather we have just had these are a welcome sight 😍 yes we all knew Therese was coming over 3 weeks ago, we were warned to prepare for the worst, batten down the hatches as they say and in true Brit fashion here at Casa Azul we did just that, extra wood ready for the fire, plenty of extra food, warm clothes, towels, and blankets all prepared for us and the guests downstairs. It was a week of check, check and double check and we were ready .......... or so we thought 🤔
Therese arrived and made it a little difficult then sat back and thought I'll have another go!! She was determined to make sure everyone suffered, we can honestly say we have never seen anything like it, landslides right in front of us that were like watching a movie, flash floods that really did start to make us worry, 100 year old stone walls just falling down like they were made of cardboard, roads completely impassable but we made it through. Yes we have lost a bit of land, and we've found a few more cracks in the house that have let some water through but we will rebuild eventually, every where will dry out and be repainted, the chickens will eventually be mud free 🙄 and things will go back to normal but I know we will always remember the winter of 2026, the year Therese came to visit!! Character Building I think they call it!! 🫣
