Old Fool’s Blog – Rain damage in our village

February, and we’ve now had 10 solid weeks of rain. The locals have never seen anything like it, and neither have we, even back in England. The damage in southern Spain has been appalling and the stories reported on Spanish news tragic.

Rivers have flooded towns, roads have crumbled away, mudslides and rockfalls have buried houses and lives have been lost. Our village road is extremely hazardous, and a house collapsed in our street this week. Luckily  it was uninhabited.
