Hello! As we don't have much to do, still no address or anything apart from our own goodselves, we spend a great deal of our time exploring the area. Tomorrow will be the day when we find out if those people want us to live in their flat. Personally, I'm not sure I'd want us to live there (jobless with two noisy kids), could be a tricky one. So tod

Hi peeps! We’ve been very busy here. Where can I start? So much, yet so little has happened. Let’s start with the utter most important news. Last Monday I visited the inside of the Sagrada Familia and OMG (That’s for you Helen Ball, there’s a couple in there for you to find too) what a beauty. I was totally breath taken by what I saw, nearl

We really like this place so it will be a big disappointment if we don't

Hey James here. Now, I've never been known for my swarthy mediterranean looks, but in the first few days here in Barcelona, I'm beginning to feel like I'm carrying a huge sign saying "INARTICULATE ANGLO-SAXON IDIOT" Before I can even open my mouth to flex my not so considerable linguistic muscles in a bizarre pidgin Spanish/Catalan hybrid to ask "C

Hello, bonjour, bon día, In this article, I'm hoping to convince you that you must move to Barcelona! I will talk to you about my four favourite things here and why you should move to Barcelona or Catalonia if you are thinking about doing it. A bit of background first. If you didn't know, my three boys (including dear hubby) and I moved to Barcelo

Hi all and sorry for the interruption... We don't have the internet at the moment which explain this lack of information. It's like being back fifteen years.

Hola amigos! Brrrrrr. We are very cold here, it's lucky my fingers aren't frozen yet so that I can continue writing about our Spanish adventures. Hopefully this won't be too much of a boring post which would get you thinking: "Wow, I bloody wish she had frozen fingers" (Please make sure to hum Goldfinger theme tune whilst having this very nasty tho
