Paëlla and Fireworks


After a hot and sunny week, the weather has changed over the last few days. Following a thunderstorm overnight on Friday, it kept raining for most of the day on Saturday so we spent a lot of time watching the Test Match from a sunny Lords.

Fortunately, the weather was better on Sunday, as we went to a Paëlla Dinner in the village square followed by fireworks. It was a very simple but lovely meal with plenty of wine flowing.


Just before 11 o’clock everyone started to walk to the site where the fireworks were be lit. All the children carried Chinese lanterns with a lit candle inside. The whole procession was very impressive.

The fireworks were quite a spectacle. They shot into the sky and cascaded over the field. It is amazing that a relatively small village can put on such a superb show.
