It’s Friday the 13th tomorrow and it may be unlucky for the continuation of the streak of dismal weather. In the forecast for tomorrow, is the appearance in the daytime sky of a strange orange object. One so rare this winter that it’s only been spotted a handful of times since the beginning of December 2025 – a Spanish winter so horrible that the reservoirs and dams are overflowing, thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes and the peninsula has suffered much damage.
This explains the lack of posts on Caravan Ramblings. Storm after storm has pounded the Iberian peninsula with heavy rain and wicked winds, restricting outdoor activities to such an extent that last week I’ve been to the indoor gym every day and taken up Whist to add an extra evening’s entertainment.
In fairness, we have made the most of the community here at Camping La Rosaleda and without such a community, and the well-attended bar, things might have become a little bit un-bearable.
Still, we have been to several community meals, participated in Whist and the weekly quiz. Last weekend we watched an afternoon of sport, including the six nations, and later in the evening celebrated John’s birthday. Teen had organised a rather splendid cake.
Valentine’s day meal and Rock ‘n’ Roll!
