I said in my article 'Change of LifeJourney – Epilogue' that our
plans for our future direction of life were being collated, costed,
and converted into a more conclusive basis.
Our
summer visit to the United Kingdom confirmed that it would suit us
best to have a home there, as well as in Spain, to give the
flexibility in lifestyle we need for the future.
In
order to have this base we decided to use one of our rental
properties, where we had lived prior to moving out to Spain, as the
easiest and least costly option. Unfortunately this meant that we
had to give notice to our tenant in the property; but you can't make
an omelette without breaking eggs.
The
time is almost upon us to begin the new phase of our life.
The
date when the tenant leaves the house has finally been agreed.
Our
journey to the UK has been organised. The Channel Tunnel crossing, the
route to Calais, and the two hotel stopovers in France have all been
arranged.
The
refurbishment of our second home has been programmed. The decorators, the
kitchen fitters, and the carpet fitters are under starting orders; they're listening for the jangling of the house keys as the starter gun. They
know when the race must end!
We
have a few days left to make ready our Spanish home for a period of
winter hibernation until our anticipated return in the New Year. The
closure of 2011 will see our preparation for a new and better 2012
and our ongoing years.
