Spain continued
October 21, 2008
I am interested in how the english who live here create their lives, and so far have met some interesting people. There is Brenda 63, who has qualifications in chinese medicine. She has lived here for 12 years and teaches relaxation through breathing, much preferred to not breathing! Wilma fron Scotland who runs a chair massage business, and EFT and is about to convert Spain to the stress relieving benefits. Perhaps Spain’s stress levels are catching up with the rest of Europe.
The english jazz, rock and blues band, who performed at the Altea festival at the weekend. Then there are the Compaians, a formidable group of 250 who gather weekly in Albir, to promote their social programme and enjoy each others company, and now there is me.
I must say I feel very pleased about what I have done, separating myself from the comfort of home, and taking the car across Spain. setting up home in the spanish quarter of the town. It has a feeling of unreality at times, and several deja vue flash backs to when I lived in Tenerife 43 years ago. The muse has left me . Hasta la proxima vez

Hello Mum, sounds like you are having a top time. Must be interesting to get flash backs to when you were in Tenerife in your youth. The difference is, you are fitter now and wiser!
Love Graham and Sadie x x

Hi ann,
glad we are going to get another blog, it makes your life over there become more real to us!
I think it must be pretty interesting getting to know the different reasons people have for living abroad long term. Be it dis affection with England as perceived, a wish for a warmer climate or a more relaxed lifestyle. Is the reality a disappointment?
Have booked hotel in Barcelona in Feb, so my visit is now decided. Work is continuing on re-organisation of spaces, barring set backs such as buying christmas stock.
Have you setup an exercise class yet? Oe are you just enjoying the ambiance and settling in?
look forward to seeing you in Feb,
Marjorie

Ann, your blog is like reading a novel. It is gripping and so entertaining. I think you should have been a writer not a socail worker. I feel that I am almost there with you. Keep up the good work. Miss you – love sue
