Opening up in the Schengen Zone

June 30, 2020 heathersunflowerLeave a comment

What an utter, absolute shambles they´ve made of opening borders in Europe. I suppose we´re in a “test case” scenario here, but the odds are stacked high since June 21st, and by “high” the biggest pickle is air travel. There´s still hot spot zones within most countries to avoid, some bigger than others.As I write…… Continue reading Opening up in the Schengen Zone

Taking leaps and moving on

February 2, 2020 heathersunflower1 Comment

Life is full of adventures, some bigger than others, the best ones are those that in reality sweep you off your feet. It´s taken us a few months of pondering about the idea of taking yet another leap. As mentioned in my previous post, the decision has been made, we´re moving on again!Here´s the “shortened”…… Continue reading Taking leaps and moving on

You’re Not Going To Like This

But it’s true. The total population of Spain is just 46 million people. Last year 82 MILLION holiday makers came here, and the place is struggling to cope. This same situation is also affecting southern France and Italy. The troubled world we live in is having a huge impact on countries classed as safe. Even…… Continue reading You’re Not Going To Like This

Good grief is that the time?

April 11, 2018 heathersunflower2 Comments

Well hello! Was it really last September since I did a blog post? Jeez, I must be a bit rusty by now. I never even said a proper “Goodbye” to my reader. The issue was, and still is, finding time. For the past seven months I´ve been out and about on Facebook, all very simple and…… Continue reading Good grief is that the time?

Ten Years Of Blogging, So What?

June 6, 2017June 27, 2017 heathersunflower2 Comments

This month represents my tenth anniversary, countless words and photos all squashed into my own little area of the Blogosphere. Well to be honest there´s two little areas. My first blog was born in 2007, content washed up by our alternative lifestyle aboard a Dutch Barge. (Really). Life afloat was fun, but the boat was…… Continue reading Ten Years Of Blogging, So What?

The Glass Is Tinted Almost Black

April 27, 2017April 29, 2017 heathersunflower3 Comments

There is no thing such as CLEAR glass here for obvious good reason. Sun problem solved with the likes of tinted windows and patio doors scattered about all over the place. Putting shutters down is a drastic option,, but not really necessary when we live outside wearing high protection sunglasses. Ironic as it may sound,…… Continue reading The Glass Is Tinted Almost Black

Car VS Shed

February 8, 2017February 9, 2017 heathersunflower5 Comments

This is a fine example of why an amber warning for WIND ALONE exists in Spain.   I took this photo a few days after the freak once in a century super storm we had in January. Logical reasoning why people reluctantly stayed inside with shutters down. A couple of windy days lingered even after…… Continue reading Car VS Shed

The First Day Of February

February 1, 2017February 2, 2017 heathersunflower3 Comments

Already? The month of hearts, flowers, love, and romance is upon us. It also represents the start of the big warm up, courtesy of radiance and glory from the yellow thing sat amidst blue sky. It was nudging 28 degrees C under the rays earlier today. Hmm, nice. Valentines Day this year can´t possibly be…… Continue reading The First Day Of February

My Laptop Locked Me Out

January 31, 2017 heathersunflower5 Comments

Must be payback, revenge, justice, it all amounts to mutiny. When creating a blog post I plonk myself outside, and sit under the arches of the front terrace. With the warm sun radiating forth even in winter, it’s now the normal thing to do. As an expat Brit, I know this is not possible in…… Continue reading My Laptop Locked Me Out

Took early retirement, and moved from Boring Britain to Sunny Spain in 2014. Packed my sense of humour in my suitcase and haven't looked back since. LIVE LAUGH LOVE!
