The climate has something to do with it. Yes, houses tend to be very 
humid here, but I don't think it's to do with mould. Having said that, 
I'm thinking of getting a dehumidifier, because I think it's the 
humidity itself that is causing havoc.

Whereas in western Europe spring would be the worst time for people with 
allergies or asthma, here in the Mediterranean it's winter. But today 
was a glorious, sunny day, promising what lies ahead. Even saw a Smart 
convertible with the top down.

It's odd, it's like there are only two seasons: summer and winter. Trees 
don't lose their leaves, so they're green all year round. What happens 
is that there are a few weeks between summer and winter that they call 
"in-between weather".

I'll give the mould some more thought, though. I've never seen it (other 
than right underneath the leaking solar water heater, which I then 
treated with an anti-fungal wash), but that obviously doesn't mean there 
isn't any.
