The lad, and family, in East Riding, say it's nippy but bright. About the same in our part of Spain, but Madrid area well below freezing; apparently the records show last time at those temps was a hunded years ago.

Daughter went to her factory this morning to check it over. Access was difficult as the drifting was in many places about one and a half metres; unprecedented!

Our family in Madrid (closer to the sierra) sent us some video of their garden and them all having fun in drifts of over half a metre. They get some snow most years but this is exceptional. As in the UK, the weather extremes are given friendly names; this one is Filomena. Records apparently have...

Whilst snow is regularly seen on the two thousand metre mountain range just to the north of us, here, we are supposed to be sub-tropical. So just stop it, you silly meteorological idiocy!

Somewhere, in wild West Spain, lurk the cutest quads you could drool over!

Not to mention the steering wheel air bag, eh?

Have just scoffed twelve large seedless grapes, trying to keep up with the bongs of the clock in Sol, a main square in Madrid. Not there personally, but with the assistance of the delectable Anne Igartiburu on TVE1, saw the new year in in isolation. 2021 MUST be better. Felices 2021 a todos...

Having been a pioneer of modern computing in the sixties, and sticking with the state of the art developments up to the millennium, I like to feel part of the evolution process. Some of the latest tricky stuff is quite awe inspiring, and Boston Dynamics are up the front with robots. The motor...

DK's motors all red and shiny, nice pair next his front garden, a modest affair but well endowed and maintained a shrubbery well trained by his wife like trimming her hair.

A Well-Known Member 2retro keyed a verse for la afiliación dentro Lorca he's not pero, buen esfuerzo, what? must find more to do en el futuro.

Blimey, the ghost of John Betjeman lurks in the RCZ forum.

To most of you, I guess, seeing another Z is no big deal. Well, this morning I spotted the fourth EVER I have seen in Spain, including our very own LGN. What was spooky, and a bit silly was the fact we were leaving our local village heading home, when this all black Z approached and passed us...

Useful if your name is McFly and you have a DeLorean! But then 2014 tickets might be of value to collectors.

felices fiestas a todos

You don't always need to light up the shrubbery you know! Just keep it well trimmed.

I have Lew's mats in two of our vehicles and they are excellent. No connection nor bribe, just a very satisfied customer.

Be aware that the underside of the boot lid has the spoiler mechanism and therefore it and the "panel" covering it reduces the boot space height.

Unfortunately, LGN's scary eyes have succumbed to the extreme UV we get from sunlight here, and all the yellow/red pigment had faded. The snap shows them when they were new, Now only the black, white and blue remains.

Yep. Here is La Gata Negra on a track on our land with the Sierra De Gredos as a backdrop. As per sig, is a 2014 HDi.

I recall the Pioneer Market was down Ilford Lane. In late forties and fifties Mum took me in there; believe it was a sort of "U" shape with two entrances. Lived in Mansfied Road (near Ilford Station) until seven years old, then Goodmayes, then Newbury Park. Small world. But our locations in...
