Last year when I came back to the UK, I felt - or was made to feel as though I maybe wanted to move back to the UK. My friends were around, my kids were happy, carpets, central heating and what with the bad exchange rate last christmas and cheap stuff in the shops..... hhhmmm, it did get me thinking.
This year I'm missing Spain. Dont get me wrong, we've had and are having a wonderful time and I love being with my older children, but I am missing Spain and beginning to wish I hadnt arranged to stay here quite so long (we return new years day). Things are more expensive here again, the atmosphere is one of doom and gloom and the roads, shops, countryside, everywhere are so crowded - I know it always is at christmas, but its so claustrophobic!
I think however bad the economic climate is in spain, there's still an air of optimism and theres still open spaces and the feeling of freedom - if that makes sense!! I'm missing it anyway!
