Today we have been up to Murcia, Ikea. We went up there to meet my cousin Barbara and her husband Pete, they are lovely people. They have a holiday house in Torrevieja and come over from Taunton in Somerset for a month or so at a time as the mood takes them. We arranged to meet at a prominent place roughly half way and Ikea suited the bill in all respects. It is rather strange that the last time we saw them was in the Railway Hotel in Bradford about a year or so back. We spent a very pleasant couple of hours chatting with them as though we had met them last week.
Whilst we were travelling up to see them we called in to see Juan (the man we bought the caravan from) at Puerto Lumbreras. He will come up to Taberno to move the caravan and portacabin over to the lay-by on Monday. We are going to have a busy Sunday and Monday. There is a hundred and one things to move about and disconnect. It is amazing how much we have settled into where we are now. We really don’t want to move but as soon as we do we will have a flushing loo (using the potho) and water direct from the hebe, so that we do not have to visit Lentisco’s every morning and we don’t have to carry water up from the village to fill the water butt. On top of this of course we can then concentrate on getting our house built, so that will be exciting.
