It's not so far, flights are cheap for the family to come and stay whenever they want to, so it's all good. Private pool also high on the agenda :)'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-54324307334677429622017-03-24T04:30:03.393-07:002017-03-24T04:30:03.393-07:00Cheers WM, we are working hard on our Spanish as w...Cheers WM, we are working hard on our Spanish as we don't intend to be in an expat dominated area, we want to embrace the Spanish culture.'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-24862406024644283642017-03-24T04:28:35.321-07:002017-03-24T04:28:35.321-07:00It's a tad warmer than Dymchurch Ray :)It's a tad warmer than Dymchurch Ray :)'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-86725363014825814962017-03-24T04:28:00.008-07:002017-03-24T04:28:00.008-07:00Thank you Ross.

Blimey my sister is in France and most of the brits being of a mature age are preparing to come back because they couldn't afford the private medical if that comes in post brexit, good choice though I've been working out there a bit for the last two years and I have to say I like it. Good luck anyway. <br />Best Iain caveadsum1471https://www.blogger.com/profile/02174163740406928172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-23948753153865259782017-03-19T21:42:47.838-07:002017-03-19T21:42:47.838-07:00¿¡España?!

We'll it's a large task ahead of you but it'll be worth it in the end I'm sure. I'm excited to see the first hobby post from Valencia! Good luck!<br /><br />I too have had to reign in my spending urges.

Having just gone through the process of moving myself (although to the frozen northern wastes rather than sunny Spain) I don't envy you the process although I'm sure the results will be worth it. Just one hint - pack the soldiers first as enthusiasm for packing starts to drop off the more you do and they will need your full attention to survive. I used Really Useful pencil boxes packed out with prolly beads - seems to have worked! I hope it all goes well.Strykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-91448612792983268162017-03-18T07:47:46.704-07:002017-03-18T07:47:46.704-07:00Yes, I think 'grounding oneself' every now...Yes, I think 'grounding oneself' every now and again re the number and size of projects is a must for some of us, though I think terrain more than armies are the things that put the most pressure on storage space. The Spain move sounds exciting, I think they have quite a vibrant wargame scene.
