HELLO SALLY WELL I HAVE LIVED IN SPAIN AND IN FRANCE. IN SPAIN I WENT TO LIVE NEAR TO MY SISTER IN THE HOPES I WOULD GET HER TO COME EXPLORING BUT FOUND THAT SHE ONLY WANTED TO MEET THE FOUR OR FIVE GROUP OF BRITS SHE KNEW AND THEY SMOKED AND DRANK ALL AFTERNOON INTO EVENING THEN THEY WENT OFF BACK TO THEIR HOMES AND THAT WAS IT.....???? AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS I COULDN'T STAND IT AND TOLD MY DAUGHTER IN ENGLAND AND SHE TOLD MY GRANDDAUGHTER WHO WAS JUST ABOUT TO TAKE HER GAP YEAR FROM UNI AND THANK GOODNESS MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS ON THE NEXT PLANE. I TOOK A RENTAL IN A LOVELY LITTLE VILLAGE CALLED FRIGILIANA. WE STAYED THERE FOR 2 MONTHS. WE TOOK EXCURSIONS TO SOME AMAZING PLACES. THEN WE WENT BACK TO NEAR MALAGA AND WENT ON COACH TOURS WHICH ARE VERY CHEAP AND VISITED THE ALHAMBRA PALACE WHICH WAS A THREE DAY TOUR AND WE SAW DALLI S AMAZING HOUSE AND PAINTINGS ETC., AND WE CARRIED ON ALL OVER SPAIN FROM GOUDI UNFINISHED CATHEDRAL AND PICASSO HOUSE AND WORKS IN MADRID ETC.,SO MANY AMAZING PLACES, WE ONLY SPENT ONE OR TWO AFTERNOONS ON A BEACH, THANKFULLY MY GRANDDAUGHTER DOES NOT LIKE SITTING AROUND IN THE SUN ANYWAY SO THAT WAS GOOD FOR ME AS I CANT STAND TO JUST SIT AND BURN EITHER. SPAIN IS AN AMAZING COUNTRY WITH SUCH HISTORY THAT IS AWESOME. WE THEN TOOK OURSELVES INTO A SMALL MOUNTAIN VILLAGE FOR A MONTH IT WAS WONDERFUL ONLY ABOUT 30 PEOPLE THERE BUT THERE WAS AN IRISH GIRL TEACHING YOGA SO WE JOINED THAT AND WENT FOR LONG WALKS. WE THEN WENT TO CADIZ TO THE DALI HOUSE/MUSEUM AND THEN AFTER A MONTH WE TOOK OURSELVES TO CARCASSONNE AND CANAL DU MIDI FOR A FEW WEEKS FINISHED OUR TIME IN PARIS ANDPALACE OF VERSAILLE AND THE BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS AND THE HALL OF MIRRORS, IT WAS LOVELY.TO PARIS FOR ANOTHER MONTH. IT WAS GREAT I WOULD DO IT AGAIN TOMORROW IF I GOT THE CHANCE. I AM IN EIRE NOW NEARLY TWO YEARS, BUT I FIND IT QUITE DEPRESSING SO NOW ITS TIME TO GO BACK TO MY FAVOURITE PLACE IN THE WORLD WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL CORNWALL. SO THATS WHERE I SHALL BE ENDING MY DAYS, NOWHERE MORE WONDERFUL. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS AND IF I KNOW THE ANSWER I WILL BE ONLY TOO PLEASED TO CONTACT YOU.BEST WISHES, ALICE

Hi "Sally"
Three and a half years ago I was living in France (Montpellier) and teaching English there for 4 years. I have now relocated back to England and live in Hertfordshire. What would you like to know about the move back?
