It´s freeeeeeeezing in Spain.

By Tana Lage Otero 
January 11th

This winter has started with very low temperatures in Spain. Tons of snow are covering not only the mountains and the roads, but also the streets and the cities all around the country. In fact the heavy snowfalls and the low temperatures are breaking all the records.

    The storm responsible for this situation is Filomena, a storm that has been visiting Spain for more than a week now. As a result you can see white landscapes that resemble Christmas cards and kids  are making snowmen and playing with the snow all around our country. The problem is that it is difficult and dangerous to walk or to drive because of the snow and the ice on the ground. 

   Luckily we live near the sea and it rarely snows in Redondela. Anyway, these days you will find  everything covered in white frost when you get up early in the morning as you can see in the photo of the field in our farm. According to the weather reports, Filomena will stay with us for at least one more week.

A Family Trip to Fort Siloso

By Sebastian Lage - Paily Last weekend, our family (the Lage-Paily’s) went to an old British Fort in Singapore called Fort Siloso. It was named that because Siloso means 'rock' and there was a giant rock in the harbour at the time, making it dangerous for any ship to pass through. The fort was never actually used, because the British anticipated that the Japanese would come from the south, and so heavily fortified the area, but instead, the Japanese came through present-day Malaysia, and through the north, where there was much less  stopping them. To get there we walked through Sentosa, probably the most touristy part of Singapore. Sentosa contains many different rides and games, mostly aimed at tourists who come visit Singapore for a short amount of time. But because of COVID- coming to Singapore there were no tourists there, and the park is similar to a ghost-town. Very few people go there, and most rides are closed.  After travelling through Sentosa, we arrived at Fort Silo...
