This week we've been on holiday for Semana Santa, one of Spain’s most important religious festivals marking the Passion of Christ in the run-up to Easter weekend...
So, how did we spend our New Year in Spain? Last year, you may remember we found ourselves as the only diners in one of our favourite restaurants, El Puente on the edge of Dúrcal, having a fabulous meal with the children. This year was very different...
Christmas this year, for us, was a relatively quiet and low-key affair. Continuing the tradition set by the Watson Family, we planned a picnic on Christmas Day...
It has been a very busy September. We have, for most of the month, had a fairly full house with guests and as a result we have sort of found ourselves hurtling towards October. The 1st October is a momentous date as it marks our first anniversary of living here in Spain. It is with huge relief that we can say that it is just an anniversary, suggesting a continuance, rather than the end of something. However, changes are still afoot...
Unbelievably, we have been living in Spain for six months now. One of the questions we get asked most frequently is "What do you actually DO all day?" Well, in this podcast we answer that question plus nine others...

Here we are in a brand new year, and we managed to see it in in the best possible way, which is partly why we had been so quiet for a day or two.
Well, who would have thought this time last year that we, Andrew and I would now be ensconced in Spain as we cross over from 2016 into 2017. Yes, it was our plan for the year, but so much could have gone wrong to upset that particular apple-cart.
This was an unusual Christmas. For a start, this is the first year that I have not spent Christmas with my family - either with my parents or my children. It was just me and Andrew.
