We were in Spain recently to attend a wedding in Madrid. While there we also visited an Aunt in Moraira, near Alicante, and Barcelona. The reunion with the Aunt was the first in 43 years, and was a delight in such a beautiful setting. She has a villa with a swimming pool, and the clear blue sky and 30 degree temperatures enticed us into the water. In Barcelona, where we stayed for a couple of days, we visited the Gaudi marvel - La Sagrada Familia. As can be seen in the attached photo, the design and workmanship is breathtaking. Though started 100 years ago, it is still a work in progress.
After 9 years living in France, near Poitiers in the heart of the countryside, we've moved back to England. We are in Margate, within half a mile of the sea, in a small development of new houses...........David Sefton
