19 months. Hubby has a proper job here - I am just a housewife and mother. In the UK I was a high flying professional (really););)

just?! Dont put your self down :)

Your hubby doesnt happen to work for Du Pont does he? I only ask because my OH used to have foreigners at her school in Asturias whose parents worked at Du Pont, mainly Americans.

If you want to hear the English language they'd be good people to get in touch with, I'm sure they are in a similar position to your family

Re: Spanniversary!!!

6 years end of January and still loving it here

I would think that Dupont hires mainly spanish people who speak really good English now as opposed to foreigners. ??? Perhaps there were few who spoke it when you wife went to school. Just wondering where she grew up?

I have met up with 3 more Brits this past week !! It takes a while but there are a few Brits scattered around Asturias. Like a needle in a haystack.
