Farewell To Spain .... For Now!

It's the last day in Spain for me, after what I can only describe as  a 'difficult' few weeks. Tomorrow I am returning to the UK for approximately five weeks, though Darrell and I are not sure just how long at the moment, it really depends on a number of factors. I suppose at the moment we are both temporarily homeless, until we are able to move into our new home. Obviously not destitute and on the streets, but without a place to live. At this time of year, finding somewhere to rent in Gran Alacant, is near on impossible, so like many others before us, we just have to do what we can, until the housing situation changes. Thankfully Darrell and I have some good friends, both here and in the UK.

Today I have just finished cleaning and tidying the house, before we move officially tomorrow; it finally looks like a show home again. Typically Darrell has started his four night shift pattern at the airport, just as we have to move; on top of that his car broke down a few days ago, but due to the support of others (Expats are a fabulous lot) we have managed to get it back on the road temporarily, until it can be fixed properly next week  It does seem like circumstances are conspiring against us at the moment and in truth I will be glad to get away from here for a while; the last few months have just warn me down!

Tomorrow I fly back home to stay with friends and family, reassess my life and hopefully make some choices about the direction I should be taking now. A change of environment and different surroundings should help me finally decide where I want to be! In the mean time, I have cases to pack, floors to bleach, dinner to cook and 'On The Buses' to watch!

Adios España, I'll be seeing you again soon!
