Coming to Granada

This Blog is my diary on my new life in Granada, but more importantly a way of keeping freinds and family informed on what we are up toeven though we are in another country. So I think I shall start from the beginning on how we have ended up in Granada Spain. For those who are unaware Granada has always been my second home since I married Conchi 18 years ago. Every year sice we have spent our holidays here so that Conchi can be with her family and Conchita and Africa get to keep their Spanish up to date. I must admit it has always been my plan to finish mylife in Granada Isuppose because Ilove it here so much, but like with anyting you never quite know how your life will end up and where fate will take you. All was going fine in the UK all be it tough and complicated at times but as luck would have it an opportunity arouse were I could emigrate to Spain while keeping my job in the UK. At this point I must say thanks to Tim Webster (Star Medical) for without his support this would never have happened. Although this isn't the first time I have emigrated to Spain, but this time I am confident it will be for good, although I am sure my parents will be disappointed! I must admit though the hardest thing about leaving England was our friends and family and over the years I must admit we had some of the best friends you could ever have. Fortunately if it wasnt for the advances in technology in particular the recent development of the Internet and Broadband this would have been impossible. In particular a little piece of free software from skype has made it all possible, because without their technology the cost of calling the UK would be prohibitive, in addition I have a UK telephone number which means there is also no excuse for any one to call me. Incidentally you may be interested to know that for me to call the UK I pay just £0.012 a minute, cheaper than if I was in the UK. In addition it is free if you call skype to skype. But if you do not have skype, then you can call me on 0161 408 0505 which rings me direct to the computer and if the computer is switched off it redirects to my mobile, it couldn't be easier!
