Re: Life is so short.
after a really horrible week, my OH and I have come to realise that life really cant be taken for granted and we have decided to return to Spain. Now some of you already knew that and others had already guessed it but I felt it was worth mentioning just to clarify why I am on this forum.
We had been toying with the idea and trying to weigh up the pro's and cons but given recent events it seems stupid to delay anything really.
We haven't decided on where yet and a few trips are planned this year to have a look around certain areas, but initially we are going for a year just to see whats going on.
We don't have a house to sell, and aside from our dog and a few thousand pounds worth of tools not much else to bring except ourselves.
I have put this in Siesta time because it doesn't really pertain to Spain as such, just our decision and subsequent discussion about the move.
We are planning to make the move next March, I cant leave any earlier because of my course and exams, but I will be finishing off the final part out there.
Thanks.

You're always welcome to stop off here if you decide to eventually drive down, or indeed if you're ever in the area

I'm here now - in Melbourne....let in because I'm a nurse.
Least they don't just let anyone in...like Britain does, hence it being so over-crowded.
