The view from the back

My blog is about our move to Spain, to be exact it's about the intergration of a techno junkie and his lovely wife of 30 yrs into 18th century Spain.

It's a new day !

 They do say the darkest time is just before the dawn and this morning was a fine dawn followed by an even better morning as today is now special , we're  at  T minus 17 days , yes we have a date Monday 22 July is our move date , the shippers are booked , the ferry is booked the stuff is packed , well almost just the stuff were using that's left. 

The lovely wife hit the phones calling around the family letting the in laws outlaws and all the friends know . Common opinion "that's quick" we've been talking about it for over 10 years , finished work 14 months ago and started trying to run stuff down on eBay since January and actually putting stuff in boxes since April so if that's quick maybe all our kin are Spanish already ? 
It won't be long before we see them as we've a active social calendar through to the new year to help ease us in to our new life. Also our move is nice and timely for me to start my photography course at the end of the month as planned , just need the broadband on , fat chance of that . 
The lovely wife was scanning the menu on the Normandie a bit pricey for ferry food but a treat will be due by that point then off for a sleepless night in our chair's to set us up for a days driving can't wait.

You're so lucky to have a date! We're still ploughing on with our business sale and have yet to be given a date! We are also living on minimalistic measures except our stuff is in shipment and meeting me next saturday when I will be over for a holiday! Back at our rented house in the Uk we have the knackered sofas, table and chairs that my eldest daughter is having, a tiny tv, fridge and freezer and minimal crockery. No washing machine which means I'm using friends and familys! At least my water bill will be lower! I will watch with interest to see how you go and will start my own blog once I know I'm not going to jinx things by writing about them! :) Where is it you're moving to?
