First I have to say sorry Ive not been keeping my blogs up this year.
Well we have finished picking the olives for oil that as kept us busy until the middle of January and now we are ready to make our New Year Resolutions for the year.
February is a good time to make ours, most people will have made them by now and broken them by now. As we are taking a breath before the next round of work its time for us to make ours, we like to look on them as goals
Our first one is we are going to sell our home here in Spain and move nearer to family nearer to the coast still in Spain.
Second its time to move our Internet Business forward, so there will be articles, motivation and advice for you to follow, as well as my posts on selling our home, which I hope you read its call As My Home Got Your Name On It.
Third to set up our other websites more about them later.
Fourth to finish my ebook which is nearly there, got bogged down with e-book compilers.
Itś oh so easy to get way laid when you work from home there are so many things that just happen to pop up that you just have to do.
Please pop by again and don't forget to leave a comment.

Making the Decission
Thinking of coming to live on the Costa del Sol
On January 31st 2009 we decided that we will sell our home in Spain, I am very excited that we have taken the decission. My husband is not well and moving nearer to family will be a help to me if needed.
That said we will treat it as a new adventure and we are looking forward to the move, they say the housing market is depressed and nothing is moving, that may be so however we believe that every house as a buyer waiting for it so here goes.
Thinking of coming to live on the Costa del Sol? in Andalusia nestled in a valley midway between Yunquera and El Burgo lays our home, on entering the vally you encounter a rough road which is made good each year by the National Park. Drive along a little way and you enter the valley proper.
There are 20 plus property´s here and it is so beautiful, peaceful a place to die for as they say, only three homes are occupied full time the rest are weekend homes.
Low and behold Thursday 12th 2009 the electric people have arrived to start installing the high tension power so that at last we will have real electricity, wow thought we would have moved before it arrived.
We use a generator for electricity, we have our own legal well and get good sweet drinking water. There are three good size bedrooms, a large bathroom, living room and kitchen with breakfast bar, every window looks out onto fantastic views. Plus it is a legal build
The property sits in 25,000m2 of fenced land it is in 2 plots one with the house on and the other has a footprint for a house, we have olive, lemon, orange,fig, almond, avocado, walnut, carob, cherry, apple and pear trees.
Two years ago we planted a fruit orchard of quince, pomegranite, peaches, plums,apricots and plums, we also have an allotment for growing our own vegetables.
We have 15m2 of pine forest which is part of the National Park with wild rosemary, lavendar and lots of rare wild plants plus wild mushrooms, many of the plants I'm still trying to find out the names of.
We have set aside land for a swimming pool and and greenhouses, leaving plenty of land over for growing other crops, and keeping animals
Keeping 34 chickens keeps us in eggs with some left over which we sell to the locals in the village of El Burgo.
More posts to come with info on the villages, people and lots of other info, if you would like to see our pictures leave a comment with your email address and I´ll send some to you.
