Oh how I would love to see that! If it settles will you take some photos and post them?

Hey! Will you look at that...I have just become a Veteran Poster! What a great Christmas Present.
 
I see that Jo has also reported snow in Astorga- and Reb has a blog post about it falling in Moratinos!!!
I am happy to report that the sky is a brilliant blue here this morning- and I am about to head out for a swim!!

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Proper snow here in East Anglia this morning - maybe 4 or 5 inches. Not seen anything like this for years. Like when I was a child. Very pretty.

Which reminds me to worry and pray for the Copenhagen Summit!

What do you think are my chances of being able to wear shorts and a t shirt going over O Cebreiro in 10 days time?

I would imagine....not all that promising! A good tartan might be more in order!

PS while in London in November I didn´t have time to get in touch with the Secretary of CSJ, I will contact her later next year.
 
Course, will a bottle of Black Label tucked under aforementioned T-shirt you wouldn't really notice the difference!
Absolutely pouring with rain in Marbella.
