Yeah but, they have central heating and carpets in the Uk!!!

Last winter was my first as a resident in Spain and I thought it was pretty mild compared to previous winter holidays we had spent in our house (which is 5km inland and not up in the mountains). We hardly had to use our gas heater at all. I did buy a hot water bottle and sat with it on my lap whilst watching TV at night, as I found my hands got chillier than anything else and I refuse to wear gloves indoors!

Hi Lynn

Where abouts is your home?

Nats xx

I agree with you; winter this year was much milder than last.
Of course, this summer has been much more bearable than last, too!

Isn't it ridiculous that you have to get UNdressed to go OUTside!!!?
When the sun is shining during the day, it's usually still very pleasant outdoors.

Phew!!!

I'll cancel the snow chains for my car then!!!!

It's ok, you can buy them in most supermarkets, especially here in Valencia. They do a roaring trade with them!

What about submarines? If it's colder the higher you go above sea level . . . .

Also it is often warmer outside in winter than in the older type of house, strange but true. the houses are built to keep heat out , definately not heat in, but you sort of get used to it.
