How often does the weather get that bad, Izy? I hope not for a long, long, time! hopefully, never again. :D

Well we have now spent three winters here and experience once before but nothing like this time....it was not normal weather for Spain, think climate changes are the reason, who knows.....We had been in an official drought for over 5 years uptil this winter :roll: :roll: :roll:

Terri: When Sasha gets too hot, she crashes out in the villa to keep cool...

There is a saying 'only mad dogs and englishmen go out in the mid day sun....well the dog defo has more sense than us in this case :lol: :lol: :lol:

No payout on the insurance...not covered for 'Acts of God'!! :cry: It's cost us in the region of 10,000 Euros to rectify all the damage, and we have done most of it ourselves!!

Now the only 'skin' I got to see was John's flashing abit of builders bum!! :roll: :lol: :D

Izy, Your pool area show all your hard work, it looks great. You can definately tell the difference in the lake. Gorgeous view BTW.

Beautiful!!! Your hard work is sure paying off!!! I'm sorry you had to go through that...been there and done that myself...I'm glad that you did not lose your home though!!!
