I´ve just stumbled across this thread....glad to hear you´ve made a positive decision mate!

As we are on your shortlist of 2, then I hope to be meeting you at some point in the future! I´ll make you park the VW campervan round the corner though.

If we can help you with horsey contacts (my OH´s special interest) then give us a shout. Your professional interests have always baffled me though....is it boats? horticulture? or viticulture? or general jack of all trades?

If it´s viticulture we have a few contacts there too and could perhaps help.

Good luck!

It is Viticulture and hort mate, boats are a bit of fun, and if I cant find work elsewhere, a way to earn a wage.
That said, the only way I have ever made money in life is by doing anything.

I will have almost a year on one of the top vineyards in Britain under my belt so hopefully that will help, but we are coming out to get our heads sorted and find our way a bit.

But then you knew I was thinking about it anyway.

Oh and whats the matter with my combi van eh?? Bit too common for you Jerez types??

If you get into the viticulture thing its all toffs and aristocracy in that industry....you´ll need a fleet of vehicles to blend in well!!

Anyway, if you end up in Palma we sometimes go to a mate´s summer house there so we´ll invite ourselves around to yours!.

some of the jobs being offered in Europe for Viticulturists would allow me to buy a damned fleet of vehicles!!


Wish I had known about this a long time ago.
