On the subject of the house, I cant believe that there are such time wasters about. On Friday morning at about 11 oclock someone knocked on the door saying that he was down from London and had heard our was for sale on 'the grapevine'. Lorna said I was in the shower and could he come back around 1(giving us a bit of time to tidy the place up). He agreed, and went off, having a good scout around as he went.
As it was our first sniff of anyone coming to have a look at the house in weeks we went absolutely mental tidying up for 2 hours solid, and at 1 oclock we had just finished, so we sat and waited for him, and waited. At 3 oclock we decided he wasnt coming. How annoying is that, if nothing else its just plain rude.
If you are wondering why its gone 1 oclock in the morning and I am writing this its because I seem to be the only person who is stressing about this whole moving to Spain thing. I can lie awake for most of the night thinking of depressing and stressful things, interspersed occasionly with new and exciting stuff, then when I eventually fall asleep I have to sleep till 11 to make up for the night lol.
Im not really sure which is the best picture of
the house we are buying to show you, but this is from the estate agents web site. It is an old olive mill, currently has two self contained apartments, room for another and also a large area which could be made in to a house or anything else we fancy. It is quite remote, it takes about ten minutes of driving on a track to get to the house once you leave the road, but it really is worth it, peace and quiet, wow! There are about 300 Olive trees that come with the land, but at the moment the farmer who used to own the mill still farms the olives, as that makes things easy, keeps them tidy etc, although Im sure if we want a go we will be able to, although I believe its hard work for not a great deal of money. He actually farms 300000 trees, it takes 4 months.It is my pleasure to introduce you to MaryBelle, she is the Vietnamese
Pot Bellied Pig, that I managed to negotiate in to the deal when we agreed to buy the house. I think you will agree that if we are going to keep animals and be farmers we might as well go the whole hog(gettit?). Isnt she wicked, she is going to help us with waste disposal, as there is not a rubbish collection where we will be living she will devour the food rubbish for us.
