Countdown to Australia!

There are only a few weeks left, before Darrell leaves for Australia. So we are trying to fit in, as much as we can, as a couple, before he departs Spain.  Spain will remain our base, but Australia will be home for Darrell, for six months of the year.  

We spent a lovely afternoon in the Sun at Zest, having a few drinks with Andy, Katie and little Lexi.  They have become close friends and we always enjoy spending time with them.

Sierra Mar, where Zest is situated, is having a charity fund raising day tomorrow, in aid of 'Ataxia'.  

What is Ataxia?  The word "ataxia", comes from the Greek word, " a taxis" meaning "without order or incoordination". The word ataxia means without coordination. People with ataxia have problems with coordination because parts of the nervous system that control movement and balance are affected. Ataxia may affect the fingers, hands, arms, legs, body, speech, and eye movements. The word ataxia is often used to describe a symptom of incoordination which can be associated with infections, injuries, other diseases, or degenerative changes in the central nervous system. Ataxia is also used to denote a group of specific degenerative diseases of the nervous system called the hereditary and sporadic ataxias.


Sadly I will not be able to go to the event in Sierra Mar, due to work commitments.  I would however like to wish everyone good luck for the day.  If you are about, go down and help raise some money for a very worthy cause!

Today was another great day in Gran Alacant. Spending the afternoon with friends, discussing the future and enjoying each others company. There isn't too much time left, for Darrell to spend time here, so over the next two weeks, we aim to make his experience as memorable as possible, until he returns in March!
