Today was a bit of a sad day. We´re sad that we have to sell our home and land in the Campo near Cartagena but Sharon´s disabilities mean that it is just not practical to continue living in a place with 20,000 square meters of land to look after. So, we have been talking to estate agents
When we came to Spain we made the decision that we wanted to live with Spanish and that is something we have never regretted. Our neighbours are wonderful and never stinting in their help and concern. Only half an hour ago a tray of home-made rice pudding arrived at the door. We expected to live here forever but life has a strange way of changing your plans.
Still, the good news is that Sharon is alive and getting better every day.
We will have to move. It will be sad to say goodbye to all the almonds and olives that Phil has worked so hard on and Sharon´s fruit trees but life moves on and its time to look forward. We may well have to move back to the UK to be closer to family but it is absolutely certain that we will be returning to Spain for big chunks of the year. Who wants to be in the UK in February, for instance?
Meanwhile, if anyone is interested in living the Good Life in the Spanish countryside please get in touch.
