Here we are enjoying the sunshine at our villa. It’s a steady 30 degC, with a nice cooling breeze, and set for 38 next week, but we’ll have moved back to Alicante by then. What is your current view?

I was disappointed this morning to get an email from PA Media Group claiming that two pics on one of my websites were their copyrighted images, used without license. It may be true, but if so it was inadvertent. I would never try to defraud anyone. Anyone who knows me knows I always prefer to use my own images. I had about 1200 images on my site altogether. Anyhow, they are claiming £1,402 for the two photos. This is way above the going rate for a hobby/non-commercial site. So, i’ve withdrawn them and offered £50 without prejudice. 😎

Here’s an interesting one. This huge crepuscular ray was observed at sunset on Lomas de Cabo Roig, Orihuela Costa last night (13/6/2026).

Here’s a pic we haven’t seen for a while. Glorious sunshine for nearly the whole country. It’s a bit nippy on the East coast though, with a fresh wind. 23rd April 2026

Taken just off the coast of Taiwan, where our son is working on wind turbines.
