and have spent the last 7 months ....painting, painting and more painting. It has been a long haul but we are finally near the end of re decorating the inside! We have had many experiences some good and some not so good. Unfortunately, we discovered that the roof was really a sieve and had multiple leaks, so we've had it renewed which has taken a fair amount of time and a lot of money, not in the plan, but we had no choice. Although the local view was "don't worry, we don't get much rain!".
The pace of life is very relaxed and everything does take time and it certainly is a far cry from Hong Kong where everything is ready before you've even thought of it! However, we are enjoying it and beginning to get used to the life.....the weather is variable and during December and January it has been chilly, so we are looking forward to it warming up, but it is certainly seasonal here.
We have also managed to get a listing for the letting unit onto the Home and Away website - https://www.homeaway.co.uk/p1883048 and are hoping this will attract some interest.
The other major update has been the addition to our family of Roni. A six year old boxer who was from the Boxer Rescue centre in Murcia. He has certainly made his mark and is settling in nicely. we are in a prime spot as we have plenty of our own land and are in the countryside where you can walk for miles and miles - just choose your track and remember which direction you came from!!
So in summary, the time has whizzed by and we are enjoying it and working hard but in a very different manner to our previous "life".
We are also learning Spanish which is fun and fortunately, we have some very kind local Spanish neighbours who are helping to correct us!!
