Here is the little hamlet of Gines, on the mountain route between Xirles (Polop) and Guadalest as we walkers see it. The house on the far end is for sale at €95 000 but you'd best get in quick before it falls into the road! It's very nice, but there are no foundations and it has flags laid straight onto an earth floor, and there are a few cracks in the yeso that holds the stonework together. It's great inside though (the upper floor floors are a bit spongy so watch your step!). You'd never get someone to design anything so pretty nowadays. Shame it needs to be razed first before it can really be made into anything. C'est la vie. You can't just raze a building round here - you must leave some of the original walls in tact, so I'm told, so I don't suppose it will sell for a while!
Jan, I've put some research re the USB flash drive on the Rowe site and hope this is useful.
Mum, Dad - enjoy dinner with Jan and the family tomorrow. If you still have that copy of Don Quixote in English and Spanish but no longer have shelf space for it, take it with you and Jan can bring it home for us to work on our Spanish with!
Love to all of you in Chinnor and its environs.
Julian, Ruth - it's a bold but great decision you've taken. May God bless in your deliberations!...but if you should happen to want three kids to practice with over the summer just drop us a line! Honestly, they are a joy, a blessing and a constant source of fun, wonder and inspiration...and frustration and heartache and dirty washing and unwashed-up glasses and messy bedrooms, etc...
Talking of celebrities, as Gemma has been doing of late, has anyone dared to watch the Benidorm series on ITV? The girls were in episode three and I think are in the fifth one (next week) and the last one on the following Thursday. Not anything to write home about I'm told, but we'll see them with the sound off once some friends have copied all the episodes to a DVD.
Love to all
