the rain in spain on the plain

Last friday we had the most almighty storm in andalucia, huge, some places look like world war 3, mud slides, cars floating around, hillsides removed, I diced with death coming dowm from my workshop down a mountain road, on my scooter.. hit by hailstorms with golfball size stones at 125mph, (no kidding) and narrowly avoided being swept into a moving river of mud and boulders that suddenly appeared. The scooter went in and so did a bag of tools I was bringing down to my new workshop in town... but I escaped, only to be almost crushed by a concrete block wall that collapsed onto the car I was then sheltering in. Had a breeze block on my lap.! phew. 2 people died. The biggest storm since 1946. life in spain sure is exciting. Now we lie on the beach in warm september weather with half of andalucias bamboo floating around the bay. come for a visit, we'll put on a party.

In Cádiz, we were watching an openair showing of a Neil Young concert with a live blues concert scheduled afterwards when a spectacular lightning show began. As it increased in intensity, attention gradually shifted from the film. With the first enormous raindrops, everyone ran for cover. We had heavy rain and hail for most of the night, but the news the following (sunny) day revealed that Cadiz escaped and placed to the north around Marbella suffered. Worse still is that the wonderful fruit crop of Nerja (mangos and chirimoyas) has been virtually destroyed, along with olive groves, potato fields etc. . Sean
