We managed to rescue this teeny wren after it hit the greenhouse glass. After keeping it warm in my hands for ten minutes it hopped into the hedge then flew off 😊

Montejaque dam in Andalucia. Built 100 years ago but had stood empty due to engineering errors. This was just before the worst rain and in the following few days filled to the top of the dam causing evacuations.

The flowers and bees are loving this warm weather 🐝🌹

Another day of rain and wind. Around 600mm in 30 hours and more still to come. The nearest village, Grazalema is being evacuated with some people coming to our hotel soon. Hoping the electric doesn't go off totally 🤞 We are going to decide whether to try and get home early in the morning.

It's a bit soggy in Andalucia. Over 300mm of rain since last night and still more to come! 🌧🌧🌧☔️☔️☔️ We might have to swim home 😂😂😂

I can't keep up with the weather this week. Snow and -10 then rain and frosts, the storm to come with more rain or snow!
