Default been in spain a year now....

cor, cant believe we have been in spain a year now, its gone soooo quick.we have made some nice friends and have been going to spanish lessons,mm,quite hard but we are getting there.we have had a few problems on the way and you get to thinking "oh not something else" BUT we get by them, we've had an emptying of the cess pit (didnt know they needed emptying) prob over, OH bought a pump and did it himself, etc etc, I could go on but it all comes out alright in the end. we feel a lot more comfortable now as it was pretty scary when we first came here and couldnt make ourselves understood but we can now get by with our little spanish and lots of hand movements. to recap, we looooooovvvvve it here, all it needs when you come over here is lllllloooottttttsssss of patience, good luck all,love patx
