Well it's been a while since my last blog, but life can't revolve around one's computer (can it?). We are having lovely weather and I am finding time to use the exercise bike and do some swimming before the school run, which is giving me loads of energy in the mornings but then ready for a little siesta by around 2pm, when its too hot to do anything else. I have been busy painting and not doing much gardening I'm afraid, but as the gardens are really complete now it is mainly maintenance that is required and watering, so only the veg and herbs are getting attention at present. The first lot of peas are finished and I shall plant some more this weekend. Tomatoes are still green as I was late getting started this year, but french beans and Pak Choi are being picked.
As some people may be aware, our plans seem to have changed once again and we shall be moving over to the UK to set up a Horticultural business for our younger children. How will we manage without the sunshine?!!! Well we have many ideas on what we are going to create there and it will involve many 'green' and enviromentally friendly resources and products which will, we hope, produce somewhere magical to live and work, and some areas that we can make into tropical zones so we don't feel that we have totally left the Mediterranean way of life behind. We hope to take with us plenty of thoughts and lessons that we have learnt here. We still feel that we will need to get away to the sun now and again to top up with Vit D and for Alistair, as he prefers to write under a Mediterranean sun!
Due to this move we have been filmed for a English TV programe and have just done a couple of days filming here and will go over to the UK soon to do four more. I breathed in and hopefully won't look too fat (vanity is a terrible thing).
I need to get my book finished now but find it hard to stop painting and concentrate on the writing, but it has to be done and I no longer have time on my side. The pictures here are of things I love about living in Spain and will dearly miss.
