This was to be our lounge, there was a huge walk in fire place and when lit the room filled with smoke, part of the roof had to be removed to demolish the chimney.
On a regular two day trip from Barnstaple Devon to Grimsby Lincolnshire I answered a call on my coach phone,(I was driving for National Express) it was Sandra,"I want to put the house on the market and move to Spain" she said.
Anyway on my return home two days later there was a For Sale sign in the garden, "she meant it" I thought. So after hours and hours researching different areas of Spain, we made a quick four day trip to Barcelona, caught the train to Mora La Nova and cadged a lift from a local to Gandesa.
Within two days we had found a place arranged a deposit and spent the last two days looking round Barcelona.
On our return to the UK we bought a caravan and an old left hand drive 4X4 and within two months we were on our way, It was that quick.
After an interesting three day drive from Barnstaple, (the lights packed in on the caravan, so we couldn't drive in the dark) we arrived in Gandesa with the car and caravan loaded to the hilt including two dogs and two cats a generator I had bought on Ebay and a satalite dish, have to get your priorities right.
We moved onto the Finca that day,thanks to the owner and so our new lives in Spain had begun......
