Fantastic how is the teaching thing doing
So glad about the wedding thought it would be better

I thought the music in that video was great too.

I didn't realise there was so much in Valladolid!
When I travelled through it briefly, it just struck me how much traffic there was, and that I'd never find my way around

I imagine Solihull was a bit of a culture shock after leaving these places, wasn't it!?

Ah, well that was only a quick bit of footage, so I can forgive myself for missing it then!

I'll have to have another look sometime too.
Are there any other "episodes" like that one, do you know?

Hola featherbum y muchas felicidades

It's great to hear all your wonderful news, and to know that you are feeling so much happier.

It all sounds like everything is coming together brilliantly for you and your O/H

I'm glad you had a lovely time back in Spain too.
Shame about the weather though (it's been lovely here!! )

I know you said you were planning your move back over for about a year's time. Does that mean you're not getting married imminently; or just that you'll start married life in the UK?

Anyway, wishing you and your O/H every happiness with all your plans and preparations.
Do keep us posted, won't you? We like happy events on BE!

All the very best to you,
Sam.

Not the best quality but you get the idea..
Crumbs BB - you weren't joking when you said it was high speed, were you!?

It was like one of those psychometric tests, where they flash a scene at you for a brief moment, and then test you later on what you recall seeing!!
(Still, I suppose you're used to various sorts of tests, eh? )

Seriously, I thought it was very clever how they'd found images of just about every pueblo that was mentioned in the song!
It was particularly nice to see so many names of places that I recognised from the forum, with people saying where they live and so on

Can't say the music did all that much for me although it did improve towards the end!

I wonder if Jean caught the 2 glimpses of Torrox?

How do i post the vidio
Hi Sharon

Am just about to watch your video clips shortly (have to take the dog out first!)

I'm really sorry, but I can't remember how to post videos!
(Hence why I've only got links to my clip!)

I have a feeling you have to open the page on You-Tube, and then you click one of the funny looking symbols in the grey part of the box, above where you compose your message (but don't quote me!)
I think it might be the oval black thing with a red cross through it.................but what do I know

Perhaps one of the clever people who know how to post a video, might be able to help us "blondes" out!!

Anyway won't put it on if you feel that strongly but it is spanish culture!! It was one of the clips I took, a nice one, no dead bullies in it!!

I will add a nice gentle one just for you!!!!

Hola!!

Well its all a bit up in the air at the moment with dates and stuff- our wedding will be august 2008 (havent booked yet but we are between 2 great restaurants with lovely views) so thats in a years time too!
I mean, the GREAT move could happen before or after, but we have given ourselves the year deadline to keep motivated and have something to aim at.

We are currently looking at jobs where my OH could work using more english than spanish (currently doing lessons with me as the teacher ) and we are trying to keep him in his field (mortgages / sales) so so far the most opportunities seem to be in Costa del Sol!

The plan is to move as soon as we have a job to go to and in a few years time, once his spanish is fluent, try to go back home to the north. (unless we fall in love with the south huh! )

The tears seem to have stopped since we are actively looking! Just so glad he finally wants to make this move!! This last trip seemed to do the trick! He is even the one saying we should get married in Spain!

Will keep you posted!!! Or if anoyne sees a lovely job for him let us know!!!

xxxx featherbum, who shall be spanish again soon

The teaching thing is going terrible they are all blowing me out!! Still 2 unis to go... but if they all blow me out i have a plan B- i am gonna do a CELTA so i can teach english, and also some extra web design classes to tie in with my degree.

The wedding.... well now my OH is the one saying 'lets do it in Spain' how things change hey! haha!!
Found 2 lovely places, so much cheaper, amazing food, and half the price!

Just hope ppl will make the effort and turn up- if not all of you BE's better join us at our big day fill all the empty seats

Now we just seem to spend ages researching jobs/areas as i am clueless about southern spain so i shall ask you all loads of questions (please be patient with me )
Wish we could go straight to SAn Sebastian but at £400k per flat and rich's spanish beign a tad, errrr, rusty, south here we come for now!

ps- sorry for kidnapping the thread or however you say that!!

Sam..you know us men..we speed up as we get older... they certainly crammed it in and I agree the music was not brilliant..you think you would be spoilt for choice with vids but I looked for ages..will see what else I can find..did you see the image of me in my latex posing thong in amongst the flash images...I thought it showed my best side..don't you agree...
