I couldn´t check in yesterday as I stayed at the Holiday Inn, Stanstead and there were no public internet facilities.
Through the bedroom window on a little hill below my window were dozens of wild rabbits :) s´pose it compensated a bit.
On arriving in Valladolid I was collected from the airport by Juan carlos and driven through the countryside to see that the sight of a massive field of sunflowers which last year stood proud..all had their heads boughed.
Surely it wasn´t the sun that caused this?..apparently not.. for there is a plague of moles in the countryside who have eaten all the roots of the plants.

Fiesta starts Friday....i´m gearing up for it :)
