A day in the sun!
15. februar, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
It looks like we will have a few days of sunshine so we spent some time yesterday enjoying it. There was still a cold wind but out of the wind it was lovely. When i went for a walk in the afternoon I passed a brass band parading through the streets. This evening it was just about pleasant enough to have an evening sherry on the terrace - briefly.

Today, Sunday, the wind seems to have dropped . Last Sunday the Central part of the cathedral was cordoned off as rain was coming in through the dome caught in buckets. Today it was open with large plant pots replacing the buckets. Lunch at Fundador was good though the new menu omits many of our favourite tapas.

This evening I went to a football match to watch jerez industrial (jerez's third team) against Barbate in the andusia third division. It was a good game and jerez won 3-0. The stadium is open and it was nice in the sun but got very cold when the sun went down!Læs mere

Sunshine at last!
12. februar, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
We've been here a week already and it's rained pretty well all that time, but today has been dry and the sun even came out a bit at lunchtime. Thunderstorms and rain again tomorrow but after that the forecast is for a few days of sun.

Yesterday we went to a visit and tasting at bodegas lustau, one of the bigger jerez bodegas. We've been there before but it seemed a good thing to do out of the rain. It was OK, the sherries mostly aren't ones we particularly like and we were in a tour of 18 people so it was just OK, but at least out of the rain.

One useful bit of information was to discover which of their sherries are supplied to Waitrose. Waitrose own brand sherries are from Lustau and the oloroso is the Don Nuño brand - which is the one we liked!Læs mere

First week
10. februar, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
We have been here for almost a week and it has been, by far, the worst weather we have experienced here. Every day has been cloudy and it has rained either constantly or intermittently, often really windy too. This has meant that we haven't wanted to venture out except for essentials and as wandering round the streets of the old town is one of the pleasures of being here, it has not been fun. We have felt trapped in our apartment which, though comfortable, gets boring.
This evening started dry and we went first to a tabanco we haven't tried before which was closed for vacation (as last year) so went to an old favourite - Almacen - which is just a beautiful space. The food is good too. On the way home we stopped in the Tabanco Plateros for an oloroso (1.80 euro a glass) at the end of the street where we used to stay.
Then it started to drizzle for our walk home.Læs mere

Tuesday
10. februar, Spanien ⋅ 🌬 17 °C
The sky is still completely clouded over, but at least the wind has dropped and the rain is only occasional bits of drizzle. The forecast is that it could be sunny more next week but that seems a long time away!

Today I braved the drizzle and walked across the city to the archaeological museum. I've been many times before but it's a nice small museum and I always find something I haven't seen before ( or least I don't remember seeIng!) Today they were having problems with the electricity and the top floor lights were off while they tried to fix it. Maybe the rain got in somewhere!Læs mere

Storms and floods
8. februar, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
There has been periods of weak sunshine today and the wind has dropped a bit, but otherwise it's been raining pretty well all the time we have been here. Last week storm Leonardo battered Andulucia and this week it's been storm Marta. The paper today is full of pictures of flooding around cadiz and jerez, the town of el portal, just south of jerez, has been almost completely cut off and the guadelete river burst it's banks and the roads are impassable.
The cathedral where Lynette went to mass was partially cordoned off because the dome was leaking and there were buckets and cardboards on the floor to catch the drips.
I was going to go to the football this afternoon, but the stadium is in the part of the city most affected and the match is cancelled. The whole of the andulcian leagues are postponed.Læs mere

Strange first day
6. februar, Spanien ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
We were woken up about 8.00 by thunderstorms and torrential rain. By 11.00 it had stopped and the sun came out so I went to our favourite supermarket Dia to get more food including Tim's favourite dulce de leche ice cream. Tim went hunting for marmalade oranges and was successful so more jars on their way. It has then alternated rain and sun all day, always with strong winds.
This evening we went to one of our long time favourite restaurants - Gabrielas - and were relieved to find the food as good as ever. They have also done up the inside to quite a stylish space. I have managed to dodge the rain but Tim got a soaking midday. We have tennis tv in the apartment so that fills some dull periods.Læs mere

Back in Jerez
5. februar, Spanien ⋅ 🌬 17 °C
We left home at 3,30 this morning and flew to Jerez via Barcelona. We were concerned about a very short time between the Barcelona flight arriving and the Jerez flight leaving, especially as we thought we would have to do the EU new biometric testing, but as it turned out the flight connections at Barcelona were very efficient, and they haven't yet instigated they new testing so it all went very easily. Jerez, like lots of Spain , has really suffered from torrential rain and very high winds, and the terrace at the apartment has suffered too. There are great puddles of water everywhere and some of the furniture is broken. I think the forecast is for another week of rain, then a dry period. We can hope!Læs mere
