Hi all. I'm writing this in an Essex hotel room at 5am and I have hardly had a minutes sleep all night. I'm getting up this morning in Essex and going to bed tonight in our new home in Arboleas. It's a pretty big day.
I could do with a bit of input from your collective local knowledge please. We get into our new house tomorrow, but our furniture and other possessions dont arrive until sometime next week. It's definitely not the end of the world. We need to buy a few basic items and we will manage just fine. So here's where a bit of advice would be much appreciated.
No settees or armchairs yet, so we decided to buy a couple of good quality garden chairs, use them in the house for a while, and once our stuff is here they can go outside where they should be. So, recommendations for a decent garden furniture shop please?
Next item. Some sort of homeware store. We need some plates, mugs, a frying pan and a few other essentials. Suggestions please?
Lastly, could anyone please point us towards a good quality furniture store. We have two beds at the house, so no immediate rush, but we would like a king size for the master bedroom and it makes sense to get it in before the chaos of everything else turning up.
All advice most gratefully received.
Best wishes to all and so looking forward to being your neighbours. Lee & Carla
