Our Andalusian Adventure

A month has passed since i last blogged and it's much of a muchness i'm afraid, still boiling hot here - the grass is now like a desert but it does mean that we haven't had to cut it in 2 months. Still packing our belongings, still chasing our solicitor ha ha, They're all the same! 

I've been ever researching all things Spanish and even finding out when the bank holidays are. These are so different to the UK. It's exciting finding out all the small stuff. I was also looking at pictures from the weekend's Airshow festival on the beach at Torre del Mar, i've never seen anything like it. 

We have had lots of fun leaving events in the UK, we had a large get together at the local pub on a gorgeously warm evening, a Indian meal with my work crew, a day out at the Aqua Park in Rutland with our closest friends. It's a huge reservoir with inflatable slides etc., it's a lot like 'wipeout' the tv programme. It was tiring but very entertaining. This weekend i am going to a Jess Glynne concert in the next town with my old school friends and the weather once again is set to be 29 degrees, it's heavenly.

One day that was not fun was the last day of school for Olivia and Chloe. They spent most of the day crying but were pleasantly surprised by their classes with wonderful hand made cards and gifts.

One question i do have is did people use your EHIC cards when you first arrived or did you just have Private Healthcare from day one? It would be really helpful to know others people's experience.

All this fabulous weather has prompted some people to ask "why move to Spain?", we know it's not just about the weather, maybe one day they'll understand. Maybe they won't but who cares.
