    Saturday Morning: Clear and sunny, goinjg to be 32C, yesterday was also 32C as was Thursday. We spent Thursday moving everything from Chrissie's work shop so we could set up the Victorian Street for this weekend exhibition here, then Friday morning I went to town to do the shopping ready for the Fiesta this weekend.

    Last night was the first night of the Fiesta, but first there was a meeting about the new road. we had heard earlier in the day the all the houses in the village were going to be charged for this new road, so for most of the day I wasn't looking forward to the Fiesta..... As it turned out the charge was 40 euro's a house, not the "hundreds" we had heard it was going to be.... That certainly lifted the mood and the night was really good. It's our fifth fiesta here and each year we see the same families. When you only see people once a year, you really notice changes, especially how quickly the little ones grow up.

    It was quite late when Maria from the restaurant arrived, so in case they were unable to get here again during the weekend, we invited them to see the Exhibition. I was expecting 3-4 people to follow me up, but then a dozen or more arrived..... It's the first time our nieghbours have seen our work and they were all really impressed, so I expect on Sunday by the time the word has got round, there will be quite a few more visitors.....

    The Maypole on the common..... We have heard from the Dolls House World that our "feature" is in the next UK Magazine....
