How many of us who live here in Spain have been asked these things by folks back in the UK? I get asked such questions all the time? Well, contrary to popular belief, we’re not just here on an extended holiday. We have homes to clean and maintain, clothes to wash and iron, shopping to buy, meals to prepare, dishes to wash, and so on, just like in the UK. Some of us have jobs. In addition, there are extra tasks. In Summer we have to water every day; in Winter we have to schlepp logs up to the house; all year round we have to take rubbish to the skips on a daily basis. We have to cope with extreme temperatures in July and August (hot) and from November to March (cold) – all very exhausting! So we have plenty to do all day ... and we wouldn’t have it any other way! © Paul Whitelock Tags: living in Spain, sitting in the sun, San Miguel, Paul Whitelock, www.a1-solutions-spain.com
