Just brilliant, really brill

[tonicha]

We have 3 acres of land, 2 of which is really no use to us.

Jose, a very young farmer and his wife, are going to put a fence and gate up, along our drive, to keep their sheep off our plants and garden. They'll clear the land (which is a blummin' wilderness at the moment) they'll also keep the olive and cork oak trees in good repair.

And we pay him nowt, apart from the use of the tractor, to clear the land, after his sheep have had their munch

Bluddy good, this living in the middle of your own field

Oh, and we also now have English tele, so I can letch over Mr Martin tomorrow morning

Sounds good to me

Everything is slowly coming together Kaz.

We still have a load of official stuff to do, car log-book, residencia and also need to register ourselves in the local Centro de Saude.

I have to take advantage of this computer speed at the moment, it's brill - was crap earlier

But I really really really cannot say just how much we love it here - not every one would like it, I know, but it's such a lovely place to be
