😂 well we had this conversation in the car ... can’t put my finger on it apart from the yellow shorts (when most people are still in long trousers) but the British (us included) stand out like a sore thumb!

We were talking to a Spanish neighbour the other day and he mentioned that there were more brits buying in Illar - he said we should organise a British night in the bar so the locals can get to know us all - apparently me and the other half are the talk of the town because we’ve bought out in the campo - I think we’ve been labelled the ‘loco ingles’ - did we know about the snakes and rats in the campo?? 😂😂

It’s a very small place - absolutely nothing goes unnoticed! 

Feels a bit loco max - today we’re making snares for the wild pigs that are trying to dig up our trees - last year I was suited up to the nines running a software business, this year catching pigs and planning to bbq it / them! 😳 perfect!

Hi all.

Congratulations to you Nigel ,delighted for you ,hopefully this week we will close with bank after a long and slow process.

The locals we met were extremely friendly on our last visit...and a get together for a British night(even tho we are from Ireland) in local would be a great idea for everyone to meet .

Again congrats to you .

Regards 

Trev

Was it the ginger hair that gave him away? 

Our purchase was completed last week, just waiting on the water and electric getting switched on then getting over to sort out a kitchen and furniture and probably a million other things.
