Good luck with your plans Paris. I can't think why you and your hubby would consider moving to Spain a better prospect than moving back to Caithness though ;)

My plans at the moment don't extend much beyond getting my desk cleared by the end of this week and enjoying the Festive Season. You will remember to post your new address on here so that we can all visit you next year?? :D

I have toured around Europe extensively and to Spain quite a lot. Great country and people but you should visit first and see where you would like to go. A big country with many different cultures and different ways of life in different areas. For intance Barcelona and Madrid - Chalk and Cheese. So different yet both great. And along the coast every area different. Mallorca - a super island and so different from Minorca and Ibiza and quite different from the Canaries which are themselves quite different from one another.
My advice 'suck it and see' before you buy.

Hopefully get the house we want, and to have health and happiness restored to all my family and friends are my wishes.

My plans always come undone or change so I'll keep them as wishes:D

Nope - no spare cash at the moment but I do have a confession to make. It was Thelma and Louise I had in mind when I posted and not Shirley Valentine :o. I think I'd best stay at home - I would be a liability lol.

Seriously though, I do know a couple who bought a Pub/Snack Bar on one of the Spanish islands a lot of years ago. They are still there and only return to this country for brief "holidays". It worked out well for them so it could for you too. I would imagine that you would need to do your homework very thoroughly beforehand, but sometimes the planning is more exciting than the actual event. Good Luck :D

Shove off! :lol: Have to say that if Paris is Flitting to Spain I think I should get first dibs as an accomplice. lol.

Paris you've never even left the country, not even Isle of Wight. He'll never agree to Spain, he's just giving you reason to think that he will so your attention is diverted from Caithness. lol.
Besides, Caithness is the second Spain, didn't you know that? :lol:

Did you see what happened after the "freeze frame" when they jumped off the cliff.....? I guess we are at liberty to assume the best. I've written my own happy ending to this story - I like happy endings :D
