On year on...

We are now able to do some of the things we wanted to do with more ease. A car gives so much freedom.

I won't miss so many buses with sooooo many people! Don't get me wrong the buses have worked for me it's just we live the wrong side of the bay! So I have lost some productive time. Although I used to read or meditate! So not totally lost time.

The kids have adapted so well and speak all three languages. Learnt so much.

I still have dreams for village life with sea and or mountain views! A small but perfectly formed place for us to live.

A place with a space or garden to play in and not worry about neighbours or losing the ball to a car! Although I think big open spaces are better for balls!

Working on manifesting the right things for us. They say be careful what you wish for!

Workwise, I couldn't have asked for a better boss in supporting me. She has really listened to me, understood the challenges of having young children and when overwhelmed. Put forward ideas for solutions.

I've gained my confidence back after a parental break while travelling. My identity took a hit. On the road to the next best thing.

We found local shops for bread and cheese picnics. Sometimes little cafes. We saw our friends when we could. Having kids in Spain, can mean late nights. We were often flexible. Although almost FT solo parenting was tiring. August was hot. September meant the start of new routines all round.  - Youngest started at a nursery, she changed in November to a state run one as a place came up. - Eldest started primary school. Enjoying the learning. - Mum started a job. At my old teaching place but with a n...

Phase 2 complete, getting closer

Today was my last official day at work. I am now unemployed. The team were amazing and helpful and I'll miss them. Mixed feelings but excitement is the main one bubbling up for change. Fear underneath with change and uncertainty. I will feel the fear and do it anyway! I did this once before when I went to Mallorca for "four months", almost 7 years later I returned with my husband. 8 years later we're ready again (well almost) and with two children. Watch this space for the photos over Christmas and New Year with family and friends we call family.
