autumn rain

it's now the beginning of November and we have had our quota of autumn rains. 48 hours of steady drizzle which is good for the land and the olive trees and fortunately hasn't had too bad an effect on the pista (track) from here down to Yator. This time last year the rain was very heavy in very short bursts and washed away a section about 2m x 2m x 2m deep!! It took a JCB half a day to fill it in and repair it. There is a small amount of snow on Sierra Gador which is about 2000m high.
