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.
Matt

hey babe - what a serious post from you!

was it seeing my OH in his cramped little hire car looking furious that finally tipped you over the edge?!

well have fun scouting it out, the dh has done 4 days so far back in the UK visiting and was wailing about wanting to come back here early - he only has to do another 5 days over there but he's finding it hard - poor little sausage.

good luck matey, Chi's loss is Spains gain:p

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.:sneaky:

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!

After reading many of the post he puts i see wot u mean about him and culture going together - he seems like a naughty little school boy - can picture him sat in the corner with his hands on his head :lol:. But just think of all that wine he will be helping to produce - he should be reigned as a hero :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: - when he becomes a wealthy estate owner he may even invite us all over for a drink or two of his wine :thumbsup:
