OUR
REGULAR NEWS FEATURE FROM
SUNNY SPAIN |
|
 |
MARCH 2009
|
|
|
|
|
March
began with two of our friends from the UK arriving for the week
at their nearby holiday home.
|

|
|
Sod’s law
prevailed and far from a week of Spanish sunshine, they had a
week of dismal British style weather! |
 |
|
[Would you
believe that on the day of their return to the UK the weather
changed and we had 18 days of glorious sunshine?
|

[Back to the
BBQ! ] |
|
Unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse during the
final week and so the vegetables I had bought on our local
market were entirely inappropriate – who wants coleslaw in the
rain! |

WILDFLOWERS
One
noticeable effect of the damp start to the month followed by the
hot sunny weather was that the gardens and the roadsides etc.
all burst into blossom, the down side of which has been a
distinctly high level of pollen.

Wild Boar
are, in theory, quite protected in Spain. They cannot be hunted
without a licence and the meat cannot be sold in a butcher’s
shop. However as always there are ways around it. Noticing that
a local entrepreneur seemed to have a ready supply of wild boar,
a local friend spoke to him and said that if he had any wild
boar available he would be interested.
Lo and behold, within a
few days the man told John that he had some wild boar for him
...
The result of this
being that John now has a freezer full of wild boar
...instead of the joint he expected!
