Georgia luvver I DO MIND! And so does Sandy.... That bench is OURSSSS!
Seriously though, the moments of total tranquility and peace we all get while sitting there are priceless.
We don't want to sell up, but might well eventually. We planned to rent/rent and when the euro was 1.30 or more, the sums added up. They don't right now though. We worked out long ago that we could live our simple, rural life even better in Arillas or nearby. And Arillas is a village like ours, where everone knows everyone and life is slow, quiet and very political! Plus there is the sea, and many more choices of nearby entertainment. Even in the winter - Akti and Amourada both open out of season. That's 100% more than here.
It must be heartwarming to have met someone going through the same times as yous and to find new hopes and dreams. We both hope they come to fruition.
We gave up the huge place and huge garden 8 years ago. Sadly it didn't fund the rest of our dreams. But we will both be there one day soon, both being the operative word. Jen is my soulmate, and both our souls belong there.
Lovely post Georgia. And love to both of you.
