Welcome back, Caz
Well it's not bad cannot see the peaks on the mountains. There are showers
of rain not to heavy. The wind isn't bad still gusting but it was much worse last week. And the sea is still like a mill pond. And the sun is quite warm.

Strong, gusty winds here since around midday yesterday. Otherwise, it's been clear & sunny. Not ideal sunbathing conditions though!

The wind seems to have died down almost completely now in Vera de Erques. The press is reporting various rockfalls, and trees and electricity posts down, but no personal damage.
