The day we left England to start our new life in Spain was interesting to say the least since there was 6 inches of snow on the ground....
Our lovely neighbours built a couple of snowman in front of the car to stop us from leaving but nothing would deter us (especially since our house was completely empty of contents - the removal men having been the day before!!)
So now our life's belongings are somewhere on the road between Milton Keynes and a little hamlet in Spain called Umbria de la Zarza....
But you all know us - we don't do things by halves so not only did we pack up and empty our house in Milton Keynes on arrival in Spain - we did the same with our little village house that had been home to us whilst we did the renovations here. One day later and we moved into the renovated Casa that has taken 6 years of our lifes efforts and savings !!!! So now we're here - day one saw a call to the internet company who came the same day and got us connected via a satellite/radio dish on the roof - fantastic - we now have no excuses for not keeping this blog up to date!
Nigel has worked really hard to create fire - we now have a log burning astufer connected and should (well this is still spain) get some logs delivered later on today (fingers crossed as usual). With any luck our furniture will arrive on Thursday and then the fun will really begin making this casa into a home.
p.s. we are sitting in our office looking out over the olive groves and sun is shining - temperature is around 15-18 degrees...can't be bad!
