Ups and Downs
It turned out to be a peaceful week-end, thank goodness, and both In-laws left with Marcela first thing yesterday morning.

In the afternoon, weContinue reading “I need a holiday!”

Not good news!
Having heard nothing from Spain, I sent the prospective Buyers an email yesterday, and had a reply this morning, not good news, apparently the Bank has said that the Escrituras I had drawn up before I left, for the workshop and land are not accurate…funny that, because 18 months ago they were fine, it wasContinue reading “Not good news!”
Spanish Update
The situation in Spain seems to be never ending, I have had a lengthy update today, and now it looks as if it will be mid September before the sale goes through. There are two versions of the new Deeds/Escritura , one has been lodged with Registro, and the other has to go to theContinue reading “Spanish Update”
Give me Strength!
This morning I had an email from Spain, to say the dates given to me are all wrong, for completion of the Escritura we are now looking at 22nd before it can even go to the Registry, so we are probably looking at the end of August into September now. To say I was feelingContinue reading “Give me Strength!”
