Santander Beckons

Bit of news . . .

Thanks to the fact that I am not working, my beautiful partner Therese has taken the opportunity to accept a project from her current employer. So our little family will be moving to Santander shortly after Christmas where she will help e-on Spain with their accounting.

Not an obvious choice of location for a winter perhaps, given that I just looked up a website saying it has similar weather to Scotland !

It seems Santander is a good place to learn Spanish / learn to surf but most of all I will be looking forward to spending time with my daughter at this precious age. I learnt a bit of Spanish when I was working in Mexico / Dom Rep but when I tried to recall it all I was getting was Swedish !

  2. A great opportunity although it would have been better if it wasn't because of Sterling's bankrupcy.

    All the best.

  7. @ Si, yes mate that would be good. Do you mean you already have a trip planned ? we will be there from 26DEC, probably until end March.

    @ Flic, nice one, it's cool that you have been there. Would love to grab the opportunity and try surfing.
