After 13 years of happy living in Jelsa, the Total Hvar HQ will be making a permanent move to the mainland at the end of this month, with Total Croatia News operations to be run out of Varazdin in 2017.
It was not an easy decision to make, and there were plenty of pros and cons, and one of the biggest cons of all reared its ugly head again today – as it has done for much of December – the fabulous December sunshine on Europe’s sunniest island.
I have met a number of Dalmatian ladies living in Zagreb over the years. You can always spot them, as they are wearing sunglasses, even when it is raining… and they all say the same thing. The main thing they miss is the sun.
I am sure we will too, and rather than get sad about the imminent lack of sun in our lives, I decided to celebrate it with a sun-soaked late morning cold one on the square, where an encouraging number of locals were in short sleeves.
Dalmatia in winter, when the weather is like this, is really hard to beat.
How is the pre-Christmas weather where you are?
