Moving on…… - 23 Feb 2009
So last month we made another one of those decisions. After living in Valencia since last May we have decided we are going to have to move to Germany from April this year.
The reasons are not simple to outline but they roughly break down as:
Nicole is travelling a lot with her job and currently a [...]
Read Full Post »Our first full house - 28 Jul 2008
We are just returning from the airport after saying goodbye to Nicole’s sisters, brother-in-laws and nephew. They have been with us for a week and it is the first time that we have had people stay for so long and also using both spare room and living room as bedrooms.
In all it has worked well-even [...]
From Serrig to Valencia - 18 May 2008
As previously mentioned we had great weather on the day we left.
I had packed most of the van the day before, but we were up at 7 to finish the packing and then at 8 Nicole’s dad and two Brothers-in-law helped load up the heavy stuff onto the roofrack.
We had a final breakfast with Nicole’s [...]

OK it is a Friday night at 10 past 11 and I am updating my blog – so not all can be good – but it is!
We now feel settled in our new flat in Valencia – it has been a hard few weeks since my last update.
Mostly spent socialising, packing and working – fun [...]
Tennis was interesting, but the Brit lost….next some football - 13 Apr 2008
Tennis was great yesterday, we saw two full matches in the centre court and watched the city’s best tennis player Juan Carlos Ferrero practicing. He has been responsible for also creating the Valencia Open which is only 6 years old. This is the last year it will be held where it was held yesterday [...]

We spent yesterday walking Valencia, not the old town and bits we had done before – but from the old town to our new neighbourhood. Along the park in the old river bed.
We saw the local places in our Barrio (I’ll explain that term another time) – the local fruit shops, butchers, bakers, bars and [...]
The decision is made….. - 11 Apr 2008
….and the city wins.
We have decided we are not quite yet ready for a relaxing quiet life out of the city – we have had too much time in Milton Keynes – now we need to have life!! :-D
So we will move into the city apartment and have to cycle to see the views (about [...]
Decision time…. A flat in the centre of Valencia or just outside with a great view? - 10 Apr 2008
So we have spent the entire day looking at properties around Valencia with Mairead who has done a fantastic job of searching for properties for us.
We are now at the end of the day and faced with our decision between two properties.
One in centre of Valencia:
And one on the outskirts by but the beach – [...]

Tomorrow we fly to Valencia to start a long weekend and on Thursday we have lots of flats in and around Valencia to see.
It is quite exciting – but it will also be very rushed – it will be hard to make a decision in one day – but for this reason we hope to [...]
German car registration plates - 13 Mar 2008
OK this doesn’t sound like a very interesting title for a post I know – but I have finally been able to understand why registration plates mean something different to Nicole than they do to me.
Ever since Nicole moved to the UK she has noticed regisration plates – foreign cars (especially German ones) and sometimes [...]
