Managed to get hold of a so called Internet card from the site here, which should allow me to pick up our e-mails and maybe do some website updates. But having spent 7 Euros and when logging on getting masses if security warnings about the connection, I decided that this was not a good idea, … Continue reading »

A bit of a special day for us, our wedding anniversary, but we kept it quiet as we fully realised that if we had let the cat out of the bag we would have ended up with an enforced celebration over at one of the restaurants. We managed to use the excuse of the holiday … Continue reading »

We drove over to El Campello this morning to meet up with Carl and Nikki. Thanks to madam and her GPS voice we managed to find their place quite easily. Again we came across these huge metal gates leading in to the compound where their house is, another metal gate, triple locked in to their … Continue reading »

I know, there has been a deathly silence for a few days. Well in that time, Joan and i have been over to Basingstoke, collected a new car and driven back here. We drove to Bordeaux airport on Tuesday, parked the Saab on the 5 day car park and flew to Gatwick. Our friend Bob … Continue reading »

Lots of phone calls and e-mails between Euromed and us about the arrival of our container. We managed to get the driver in to a lay-by north of Eymet last night and I went up to meet him at 8 o’clock this morning and there met the local guys who are doing the off-loading for … Continue reading »
