One week several major changes
November 28, 2008
The change of accommodation has been a total joy to me, and my new home has so many delightful aspects, including – I have to admit- an automatic washing machine, total peace and quiet, beautiful whitewashed houses, and wonderful views of the sea only several yards away
Here are a few pictures of the house to back up my enthusiastic description
The house in on 3 
storeys, I have the downstairs one. There are 3 bedrooms, a delightful kitchen with outside patio area
The church is only yards away, and there are many people who meet in the impressive cobbled square to have a coffee, or to wander from there up the narrow streets. There is room for my car within sight, or in front of the door even.
I find that having visitors is a busy time, and that writing the blog just falls off the radar; perhaps blog writing is a visitor substitute, either way it has been lovely sharing all the enjoyment, and the hard work of moving home, I could not have achieved it so quickly and easily without them. I have had a lot of help along the way, and would really like you all to share the result! A footnote for those who follow the weather avidly – it is very cold today. apparantly snow chains are being used in Valencia, a hundred or so miles north, so it is hot water bottles and woollies and hot soup . I may do flamenco tonight , just to warm up!
I did do flamenco, having planned to drive the car down and upload the blog on the way there. I found the car blocked in by two others, so reverted to plan two, to walk down to the bus with flamenco shoes in hand, and catch the bus back, and walk up the steps to my house.This could require more thought, as the wait for the bus, and the climb in the dark, having been berated by Esperanza for my non- attendance, and made efforts to catch up and perform well for over an hour, made me feel a bit overstretched to say the least. Yes the weather has turned, and thick jerseys, tights, and gloves were all coming in useful tonight.
Tomorrow I plan to do the easy walk, and go down to the meeting place in the car. All this cold weather feels unpleasantly familiar. Lets hope for a return to sunshine for my next visitor in 2 weeks time.
try this in the dark, and there are 8 more up there!

Hi,
glad to hear from you again!
I thought you might be busy with the move, but missed your blog. It is, for me, a substitute to seeing you in person, a way to keep in touch.
Your new place looks fantastic, despite the steps.
There is sleet and snow forecast for next week, so lets hope it isn’t too bad. There is a Shipley market ‘do’ at the Fox in Menston on Monday.
I am using my extra ‘me’ time to get fit, and am feeling the benefit. I have bought myself a twelve day pass for a local gym to use over Christmas. Then I will have to have a serious think about travelling to Green’s, although I do like it there, and it is surprising how often I am in the area. I even have a route from Shipley to York, which although slow, is no further and a lot prettier than taking the motorway around leeds.
I am finding some fantastic clothes for my grand daughter, She is sitting up already I have heard. I am going to see them next Sunday, which will be lovely.
Well, I hope you keep posting your blogs Ann,
Marjorie
