Missed you

The now obligatory "back from holiday" Mystère blip. He was even more hysterical than usual when we got back this afternoon. Lots of fraught yowling as soon as he heard us arrive, and although he's not a cuddly cat normally, he was up for as many hugs as he could get. However aloof he may seem, he does miss us when we're away, and rather soppily we miss him too, so the hugs were truly sincere.

Another rainy day in Castro Urdiales this morning; it was a long drive, and we were glad both to get home and to rediscover blue skies and sunshine (also missed in Cantabria). We still lit the fire though.
