More rain in the early hours but the showers had more or less cleared after a late breakfast. Today is our housekeeping day so good use was made of the laundry – you really have to keep on top of it even if we are “on holiday”.

Blessed with clear sunshine all day, nevertheless a cool breeze sprang up in the afternoon. Talking to our Dutch neighbours, who had come for a week at Christmas and were probably going to stay until Easter, we were told that it was characteristically cold for the time of year, by about 5 deg, which they put down to being the tail-end of the bad weather currently affecting northern Europe. The forecast was for it to improve by the weekend – we’ll see.

Contact made with home tells us of icy cold weather with deep snow. Sorry folks!

Just an administrative note – the blog will have been updated in a lump this time as we are having trouble getting an internet connection. Try to do better.
