Don't worry about our ages, our son's friends often say that we are the youngest 60 odd year olds that they know.
I know what I will miss about the UK.
1) The Peak National Park (we live an eight minuets drive from Chatsworth Park). However there must be something about the UK that all expats miss.
2) Our son, who will no doubt view us as the scours of as many cheap holidays as he can manage.
I look forward to early morning drives to the coast and walking on the beach dipping my toes in the water long before the rabble arrive. On the way back I will pick up the freshly baked bread, freshly squeezed orange juice and cooked meats and cheese for our late breakfast.
I love doing the shopping when in Spain, albeit that I spend an eternity doing it. Decisions, decisions, will it be meat or fish for dinner? will it be salad or vegetables or both? what fruit shall I buy? Then of course comes the all-important selection of the wine too accompany the meal that I have not yet decided on. I will then have a titter when I hear a UK regional accent saying "See if they sell Kingsmill Fred". Back home with the supplies only to find out that we have run out of San Miguel and bottled water, off I go again.
On my return the wife says "The bottom of the pool is filthy", great, I can now play at submarines with the remote controlled underwater Hoover thingy, thats another very productive hour taken care of. Have a look at the TV and see what's going on back in the UK, bloody hell its Gordon Brown, I'm going for a swim, the wife has beaten me to it. A bit of gardening when it cools down and then fire up the barbecue, remembering to keep quiet about the Premiership match that kicks off at 9-00 pm Spanish time, roll on tomorrow.
Do you think that we will fit in?
