Well thats the first half day of loading the stuff done, got the bungalow almost done and start on the garage tomorrow, that is going to make em grunt a bit cos some of the boxes are heavy.
only a couple of more days stressing about it all then on the Ferry to Spain Friday evening.

Good luck, enjoy the sun. Sounds like you'll need the rest after doing your garage.

Once we buy our own place bout 4.5 months from now we hope to have extra rooms or some other guest space so in you are down that way their will always be a welcome, will probably give a daily weather report and don't expect any thing else than. Scorchio. Jay Jay if we are close you will be welcome in for a cuppa, don't know for certain where we will be but not more than 50 kilometres from Malaga as that is where the wife has got her job.

Many thanks for the good wishes guys n gals.  Andy, of all the forums I am a member of both car and bike/trike this has to be the friendliest one that I have ever joined, there is never any bitching or slagging off of other folks builds or opinions, it feels a warm comfy place to visit and I aint going any where, it might be a while once we get there before we get proper internet connection but I will endevour to find an internet connection some where and use the iPad to stay in contact. Very well done Andy on creating a really good place to be.

Garage cleared and packed in the van, few bits in doors to go I back of car but sweating on getting it all in!!
Have to give a huge UP to Steve Stinkey for his help through out this move, without his help it would never have got done,owe him more than a few beers and hope that our friendship is going to last a very long time.
Cheers mate can't wait to meet you down there.

Got a limited internet connection now with a little dongle thing so can spend some time browsing. Weather has been bloody hot ordaining!! But warm rain whodathunkit, got a nice apartment with good views of the Med and a big hill, sitting on the balcony at 9in the evening having a drink and looking at the lightsofthetrawlers catching tomorrow's lunches for any here, wife goes back to Uk tomoz 7 weeks then she is back here to start new job in January, then we start to look for a more permanent place with a garage so I can get all my stuff delivered. Will try and do a couple of pics and put them up but using the pad to do it is new to me so may take awhile .

Steve you need to get stuff sorted evenmy breathing is easier

Sounds great Stix. I am off to Portugal soon so don't use up all the good weather.  :)

It must be a big relief to get there. Those seven weeks will whizz by and then both of you can truly get settled. Just think, once you get the place of your dreams and the broadband is set up, you can sit underneath the stars in your shorts and surf Manky to your heart's content.

Hope everything works out for you and the missus. Moving must be a real hassle but will be worth it in the end.
