Like it.
My hubby is a general builder so cannot prove that he does one specific trade for 20 hours per week for the last 2 years - but hey im not bitter - we will get there one day.
Thanks

Guess I'm like a few others here, thought you were already living in Spain.

If I had a year to do nothing, I'd be losing myself in castilla la mancha. Or maybe at a push Castilla Leon.

I think it takes a lot of courage to do what you're doing, good luck with it all, sounds like you're gonna have a blast!

Hiya Matt

Well, I'm obviously slow on the uptake, because I've only just seen this thread.
I'm really sorry to hear that you've had a rough week, but am thrilled that you've got an adventure to look forward to
I reckon we probably learn of something almost daily, that makes us appreciate how very short life is.
That's why we came here when we did, and we are making the most of every single day

We can't offer you any accommodation at this point in time, I'm afraid - but you're more than welcome to call in and see us, if you're coming this way to get to Jerez??
(Only cos then I can boast that I know what you look like!! )

Crikey, I don't know whether maryann will be able to contain herself once she sees this thread!!

Excuse me being a bit thick, but if you've got exciting times ahead, why are you feeling down in the dumps??

Sending you "chin up" karma.
Love Sam xx

Oh, apparently I've go to "spread it around a bit" (the karma, that is ) before you can have any more

we are seriously considering it. A van, one that I would be happy with will cost us £9000, a place to rent will cost about the same over a year.......do the maths!!


My sis is buying a couple of places in Sitges so we have a semi perm base there.
