I looked out the front window this morning when it was still half dark, and was amazed to see that Santa Claus seemed to be making a return visit to our house! On closer inspection, though, it turned out to be my Mum in a red coat: she'd gone outside to sweep aside the four or five inches of snow that had fallen during the night. We heard on TV that Edinburgh airport is closed this morning, but open again by the afternoon. Fortunately, I'm flying from Glasgow airport on Tuesday, and it looks as if this most recent snowfall will be dispersed by rain over the coming days. Meanwhile, back in Alhaurin de la Torre, where there's been torrential rain for the past week, it looks as if it's only eight degrees warmer than our weather today... but I see that they're forecasting sunny days of twenty two degrees by the end of the week. That kind of weather would qualify as a summer heat wave in Scotland!
