shock, horror.

Can this really be the same Oviedo we hear so much about on B.E. ?

....or maybe there's another one somewhere that we aren't aware of ?

That reminds me of around 20 years ago in my home town! I was on the bus station on a sunday afternoon and a couple were just like that on one platform, the driver came along stepped over them and opened his bus. Then the line of passengers stepped over them and boarded the bus. It was only when he started his engine they jumped up and got on it half dressed!

Obviously they couldn't wait the two hours for the next bus either

Maybe he did them a favour.

The old fashioned form of birth control up our way used to be known as getting on the bus for Newcastle and jumping off at Gateshead.

Looking back, I dread to think how many times I nearly missed my stop.


Whether or not it was C'man in the clip, I suppose we will never know for sure, in view of his mug being kept well out of camera shot.

No, it is a sunny 19c today. It was 13c on Monday though!

It is going to be beautiful sunny weekend of 21-23c. The perfect temperature.

June-October in Asturias is wonderful, I much prefer it to the South weather-wise. The winter, well, not so much

Do women really wear socks and sandals up there or was she a Brit on holiday?

Personally I thought the one underneath looked like another geezer.

.
They wear wellies in the winter, though one or two who tried going without seem to have developed webbed feet.

now that's an admission - South has something better than North
even if it is only for a few months in the year.
although you would probably be at home with the gales we have had over the weekend and the cloudburst in the early hours of Sunday morning.
(ElTiempo said it would be nice, small cloud and 4km/wind - but what do they know )

I usually keep on eye on weather forecasts and weather reports from all areas of Spain and the only thing I can say about that area, especially this last Winter and Spring is..........

It's 12c and raining now

But was 23c at the weekend and absolutely beautiful

Asturias is the best place in Spain to be weatherwise during July-September

It's my kind of place weather-wise and otherwise once the weather does pick up, but oh dear for the rest of the year.
