Let me just explain my blog is about past events and not what is happening now ! I love receiving all your comments, but it seems that a few people have misunderstood and think it is all happening now ! This is some of my memories of the first five years we lived here in Spain ! Enjoy !
So after much anticipation the opening night was finally on us !
Beer stocked, spirits stocked, free buffet cooked and laid out !
Staff in place, Mrs W in the kitchen Steve, Barry and I behind the bar!
Were we ready, no ! Would we ever be as ready as I would have liked, No ! Remember I am someone who fighting my inner perfectionist, slowly getting there !!!!
But here we go the next part of the adventure well and truly was to begin ready or not !
The stress was at fever pitch, you can not believe !
We knew for sure that are the really good friends from out of the village, would travel from Albox to support us. However they were never going to be our main stay customer base, just because of the distance they needed to travel to get to us. We needed to have not just the hand full of local expats. We needed local Spanish, we needed to catch the imagination of the born and bred people of Serón, some how, some way to make it through the first year and beyond !
Had we done enough to get them to come ?
Would they come to see what these mad English were up to or would they boycott because we were English ?
We were about to find out !
This is a special post for Gerald, tomorrow comes the next one !!
