Just thought I would let those that were wondering know that I have been around ...kind of in lurking mode, as I sort things that need to be done before returning to the UK. The reasons are many, but the major ones are:

Work
Work
Work
& last but not least.....work...or the lack thereof

We have decided that we do not want to just get any job and live life without little luxuries, like holidays (haven't had one in 4 years we've been here), free weekends, family, worrying about what is going to happen with our pensions....well, you get the idea. One cannot survive on sun, cheap booze and cigarettes alone ....although, one can seriously give it a good go

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, we have found a beautiful cottage in the Peak District and ...... believe it or not.....WORK too.....without even putting in that much effort and we are permanently leaving Spain in a few days.

As soon as we get some type of internet connection, I may well visit from time to time to say hi

In the meantime, I would like to leave you all with this:

Good luck to you Martha, Hope it all works out!
Regards
Tim

Hey Martha, good luck for the move don't become a slave to work now will you. Look forward to hearing from you once you are up and running again, much love, peace and harmony to you.

Best of luck to you and Martin. Your sentiments echo mine exactly. We are off on Friday as well.

Life is an adventure, the aim is not the destination, but the journey getting there! Or something like that

Ohhheerrrrrr .... is she going off with someone else then Michael wont be happy

OH POOP! Sorry Martha! Had a senior moment! Whomever you are leaving with.... Loads of luck!

You as well?
Tim

Yep, we are off to Cork, Eire, for a few months maybe as a small diversion on the way back to Uk, or more permanent.

For many of the same reasons as Martha. Onwards and Upwards!

Then Good luck to you as well!
Best wishes
Tim
