It started a long while ago.
This Spanish dream of ours.
Whiteley (who employed me for nearly twenty years) must have seen the far away look in my eyes.
They obliged, and made me redundant in September 2005.
What a joy, released from the daily grind after forty four years.
Leaving our many friends still working, we both retired.
We dared to have a dream.
Now at 11-7-2006.
We think that we have sold our house.
We are nearly all packed.
Elayne me and the cats (Saphy and Pip, who are now proudly 'chipped and pinned') have our air tickets and next week we are off, ready or not.
We have a delightful rental pad in a village called Bedar, near Mojacar, in Almeria Spain for two or three months.
We have paid a deposit on a twelve acre plot of land.
The plot is near a village called Taberno and has Almond, Olive, Fig and Pomegranate trees galore.
This weblog is a diary, (with pictures) of our 'audatious adventure' into the great unknown.
Follow it and you also will see the fluctuations in our spirits over the next two years of building 'our dream place in the sun'.
Come back for more when the mood takes you.
