Dinner with the Stewardsons on Sunday night. Darrell cooked one of the only things he knows how, pasta bake, which actually tasted great. Had a long chat about life in Spain. Andy and Katie have very similar views to us, have found very similar problems and have very clear ideas about their future here in Spain. Life for all of us is very different and Gran Alacant, has not been the place we thought it would be. That is not to say it is a bad place, it just isn't what we expected. I do actually love living here. The sense of community is the selling point for me. The Stewardsons are a prime example of people helping others through difficult times. I am naturally a proud person and rarely ask for help, but these two give it freely anyway. They will be living just round the corner and have offered to take me out in our car, wherever I need to go. I have to take Precious to the vets on Friday, and they have already offered to help. This is the community spirit I like, rarely seen now, in Britain. Thankfully I will have a close network of friends who will help in any eventuality!
