New life, New house, New School,

Four weeks since my last blog and it would make your head spin the amount of different tasks we've had to do.
So, we flew out on the last Sunday of August having to get up at some ungodly hour of 3am, Paul crawled out of the house with 2 cats and 1 dog all ready in their flight crates. (The pets have to arrive 3 hours before their flight). My father in law kindly took us to Luton airport an hour later so we could catch all flight altogether. People above and pets underneath in the hold. I was very aprehensive about flying the pets but it did make a lot of sense in the end and i had to try and block the worry out. We flew with TUI and they were fantastic, the stewardess asked us about our journey and once she realised we were leaving the UK and starting a new life she surprised us with 2 bottle's of wine and sweets for the girls and a lovely note from them all wishing us luck - How kind 
After a very quick flight to Malaga, we arrived and as we had to hire a car we waited a eternity at the check in desk, then we had to find the export depot to collect the furry ones. This was not easy and the directions were rubbish, after searching for a while we did find them if only the entrance in was clear we could of saved ourselves another 20 minutes!! We were finally reunited with them 12 hours after saying bye and yes they were shellshocked but 24 hours later Ted and Duke were absoloutely fine Duchess on the other hand was still very wary.
Once we had collected them from the airport we then had to meet the estate agent nearby, then we could finally get to our village and show our girls their new home 
Exhausted but so happy that we all made it and the sun was shining!!
Skip forward a while we've all really enjoyed getting to know the village, settling the girls into school, trying to pick up the language, fumbling our way through the ways and wonder of ur new destination. We already feel heathier, fitter and our heads feel clearer. It must be all the lengths of the pool, clean mountain air and all the walks we've been on trying to find the best view 
We do feel very lucky it is a stunningly beautiful place and have met some great people already and today we have internet, ha ha what more could we ask for.
I will try and write a more detailed blog of our last 3 weeks next week when i will hopefully have more time....
