This winter we have had more rain than we have experienced since we lived here, and the local people also say they have never known a winter like it.
So we were very happy to see the sun rise over the village yesterday morning and see the blossom on the almond trees. Maybe spring is in the air?

Our first stop in the morning is to visit the horses, they live in a field higher than the village. They have a flat field and a very big shelter. Sections of their field have turned into small lakes! but the horses don't seem to mind the wet, and Echo the white mare often prefers to stand in the rain rather than her shelter
please hurry up with my breakfast
Young Ully, approximately 9 months old is careful how he moves around on the wet ground
Please can I have some wellies
the dogs love playing on the tracks and rocks in this area. This is Timmy
Little Teddy does not have the right sort of coat for this weather - but he loves running around and playing in puddles. We call him 'the Grub'
And then a short drive down the mountain to the donkey sanctuary. Here it is much warmer and most of the donkeys are outside enjoying the feel of the sun on their backs. However Mackie and Myrto (best friends forever) have asked to take breakfast inside their shelter
'we dont want to go out until the mud dries'
Zak waits patiently for his hay net. The sun is already beginning to dry the mud in some places in the garden of these 4 donkeys (the totteries)
Syd, Christy and Bobby eat their breakfast outside in the sun, even though it is still very wet underfoot
the sanctuary dogs - Mia, Doozy, and Lucy are very happy to catch a few rays of the sun which has been absent for too long
