Liesl got stuck in with sanding down the french doors which were in a really bad state, and then she spent about a week sanding the front doors. Both doors have come up really well – she is dead proud of them! lol The Spanish neighbours don’t know what to make of her in her painting clothes – the women don’t seem to do that sort of thing over here!
In the summer of 2010 we fell in love with an old finca, and started on our journey to being a bit more self sufficient.
We moved in during September and the priority is now to renovate the shed in the garden to make it into an office. Once of the reasons we liked this house in particular was because the office could be completely separate to the house and we would like to try to separate work from the rest of our lives a bit. Richard says he intends to go out the front door and in the garden gate to work!
The day we moved in we realised that nobody would insure the house until we had put grilles up on the windows, so I have been desperately organising companies to come and give us quotes. We have chosen an unusual leaf pattern for the grilles, wanting them to look as natural as possible. I can’t wait to see them!
