3rd March
We are packing today, and leaving for Alcoutim tomorrow. We wake to pouring rain and a gale. Extraordinary when you think about the weather yesterday.
We cleaned the van inside and out over the last couple of days. The top of it was filthy from the Sahara dust that had settled some weeks ago, so we ran the garden hose up the strep, through the house, and out of our bedroom window below which the van was parked. Worked a treat.
Whilst the weather has been changeable and the house basic, we have really enjoyed our stay here. Ideal to have a garden where the dogs can be let out and wee when they want. Bliss in fact. And whilst the local beach is not really a beach, we have all had our fair share of excitement and exercise over the weeks. I can image a stay here in warmer weather would be heaven.
So, on to another house in Alcoutim. I must have discussed heaters with the owners but can't find any emails about it so a bit of a worry. We have noted that the forecast in Alcoutim is warm during the days but much colder at night as it is higher up. A shame as this coastal area is now warming up at night and it is very comfortable in the house without having to light the fire. if the Alcoutim house hasn't been lived in for a while it is likely to be cold and that will make both of us very grumpy.
