January's Catch-Up Blog

1/17/2021

Hi everyone! Hope you are all keeping well?

A belated Happy new year to everyone let’s hope this year is going to be a better one for us all! Hopefully 2021 will see us get back to sum normality!

The weather has been a bit of a mixed bag recently, we’ve had storm Filomena which brought some amazing high winds and 4 days rain, then the sun decided to make an appearance once again, temperatures of -2 through the nights then 15 degrees through the day!

Our business is doing amazingly well throughout December and January is more or less booked up also! It’s really pleasing given how the pandemic still grips the world and the ban on many countries travelling to others. It’s noticeably quiet around everywhere with the majority of holiday homes remaining empty!

Through December and into January new restrictions have been introduced in Valencia, bars and other hospitality businesses must close at 5pm and we are not allowed out between the hours of 10pm and 6am. Fortunately those business who provide takeaways can still deliver although watch this space because I suspect that may change very soon also. My heart goes out to all those businesses affected by the restrictions, it must be so difficult for them at present.

Our business takes us ‘over the border’ into Murcia who have much stricter restrictions in place than here in Valencia, an unbelievable amount of paperwork is required before each trip to prove we are working there and not just going for the hell of it!

Phil, my hubby, is still enjoying playing Padel on an evening, they seem to be getting better and better each week! Well, that’s what he’s told me, I haven’t seen at first hand!

Hey, Phil got me an electric scooter for Christmas, to be honest, I wasn’t sure at first but im loving it! It’s quite quick and we are both now enjoying trip out on our respective scooters, even given new laws have just come into place we are fully compliant and loving them!

Well, I think that’s it for now, not to much to report with us being so busy with work!

Stay safe everyone!

Happy Christmas Everyone!

Happy Christmas Everyone!

Hope all is well on this cold December morning and I hope you had a fantastic Christmas Day! Today, Boxing Day, it has certainly got colder, you just don’t think about this cold weather living here in Spain, or we certainly didn’t!

We have a really busy few weeks and had some exceptionally long days indeed! We have been out working every day for what seem months with no time off. It’s strange how we have so much business at the moment in what should be a relatively ‘quiet month’! not complaining though, its great to be so busy meeting new people and visiting new areas.

It has been a bit difficult buying Christmas presents for Phil with us being out every day but fortunately I got some time on Christmas eve!

When we arrived in Spain and was living in La Mata, Phil bought an electric scooter and guess what he bought me for Christmas… an electric scooter! It’s not as big or as fast as his which is great. We plan to throw them both in the back of the car on a Sunday and have a drive out somewhere new each week… we can get the scooters out and go exploring! Got some Samsung Buds also… so much better that using cabled earplugs – least I cannot strangle myself now with the wire!

We are finding out how chilly it here in December in the villa, not what I was expecting, and the fluffy bed sets are now well and truly out! So glad we brought them with us. I even bough a hot water bottle recently plus another heater for the bedroom!

Hey, a question; is there anywhere where we can but a good size leg of lamb? Any in the main supermarkets look like they are tiny and thin…. We want a good chunky one from somewhere – if you know of anywhere please let me know, it would be very appreciated.

Our Christmas Lunch consisted of enough food to feed 10! Phil does not really have a grasp on portion control, think we will be eating meat and veg for days to come! Was really lovely though... finished off with Chocolate Cake and of course, Cadbury’s Celebrations! Made real pigs of ourselves!

As you may have read in previous blogs, we should have been back in the UK over Christmas but with the self-isolation for 14 days and no family mixing it was pointless plus, all the added business we took! Hopefully, we are going to plan a trip back in the first quarter of 2021 depending on the UK and Spain’s COVID rules and guidance.

So again, I will wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, have fun and stay safe, may 2021 bring good luck and happiness for everyone and we may all see our loved ones soon.

Stay Safe!

Love

Hello everyone!

So, an update on my driving adventures! This week I have been driving around the area and really enjoyed it! I’m not saying it’s not been easy, but I’ve found it gets easier and easier as time went by! My lovely hubby has put up with a lot from me LOL, I don’t think I’m the most laid-back student.

The weather has not been that good this week, it’s been cold and rained a little but we have got to Sunday and it’s a really nice warm day although there are lots of flying ants around, 100’s have decided to end things by flying straight into the swimming pool!

This morning we had a lovely stroll along La Mata beach; we both love it there, typically Spanish, and unspoilt. If you haven’t been, we’d really recommend you visit. For the more active, there is a lovely walk from La Mata through to Torrevieja or, if preferred, you can walk the opposite way and walk through to Guardamar del Segura.

You would not believe its 4 weeks to Xmas. Time to go buy a present for the hubby and spoil him for everything he has done for me this year, he is amazing to me! It does not feel like Xmas with being in Spain, although I miss my family terribly, I love being out here, its by far the best thing we ever did. We have been so lucky with work and being able to come live in Spain, I am so thankful and grateful we could do it. We have met some amazing people along the way. Everyone has a story to tell of how they come to be here wreath this to live here who are just staying the Winter months or just here to see if it’s the right area for them, it’s nice to hear their story and the issues they may have had along the way so we can learn from them and who know, potentially offer some help as we had to go through all the initial learning and all the bureaucracy that comes with moving to Spain. We did so much research before moving here but learnt quickly, it’s so much better listening to those who have done it and know what to do!

Phil and the guys are really enjoying Padel Tennis, they are getting into it big time, although each time Phil get home, he tells me how many balls they have lost! I think the couple of pints at the end of the night is helping them though LOL!

Our business continues to do very well, thankfully! We think we offer our customers that little extra; the things others dont provide and we treat every booking as the most important booking we have - to our valued customers in is! We have taken a couple of new contracts this week which is always nice! Looking forward to the start of the Summer season 2021! Hopefully, with numerous vaccines coming in, COVID-19 will be nothing more than a terrible memory and all businesses will start to flourish once again! It’s been just a hard and life changing period for many businesses and employees! Lets get the economy moving again and get people into employment! We aim to do just that by Summer 2021.

Stay safe everyone! Take care,

My Latest Adventures

11/21/2020

Hi everyone! I hope you are all well and keeping safe!

A quick update for everyone, business continues to exceed our expectations and new customers keep coming onboard – long may it continue!
Well its getting close to Christmas again! Cannot believe how fast this year has gone, and what a year it has been with the dreadful COVID-19 virus sweeping the world BUT, hopefully there is some light at the end of the tunnel with numerous vaccines becoming available shortly! It’s been a mad, crazy year with the virus, lockdowns, our move to Spain being on then off then on again, but we are here and even though many government departments are working flat out and busy trying to clear backlogs, we have all the required legal documentation before the end of the transition period, Phew!

I hope you are all ready for Christmas in whatever form it may take. Think it’s just making the best of the terrible situation we all find ourselves in. To me, due to being in Spain, it does not feel like nearly Christmas, it’s just not the same as being in the UK. It seems Spain do not have as many decorations like they do in the UK and its just not that big in Spain, the Spanish celebrate Epiphany, or ‘Three Kings Day’ which I believe is on January 6th. You can go buy decorations from supermarkets and the China shops they just don’t go mad with them like we do.

So this week my hubby Phil rented me a car so that I could get used to driving in Spain and to get my confidences up. We have a 7-seater car which we need for the business but I find it far too big for me so he hired me a small Fiesta so I could get used to driving over here. Thank you to a good friend for renting us the car! I can confirm it is going well although I must say, I feel like I am learning to driving again. Feels very wired but enjoying driving.

On Monday Phil went to play ‘PADEL’ with some of his friends. Padel is a popular sport here in Spain and it seems like a mix between Tennis and Squash. It’s played in a ‘PADEL COURT, and always with four players. I can say they all really enjoyed it and will all be going back on a weekly basis! They are all like school kids again it fun to see them happy, bless them. Not sure about the ‘keeping fit’ side though as they all retired back to the pub after playing?

So as for the vaccine, this will mean so much to all of us around the world. I cannot wait be able to go see my family again and them to come see us may take some time but, as I say, there is a light at end of the tunnel at last. We have pretty much ruled out any possibility of returning to the UK for the Christmas week due to UK restrictions and the requirements of the Spanish Government instructing a PRC Test is required no older than 72 hour before being allowed back into Spain!

What are your plans over the festive period? Let us all know how you plan to celebrate the festive period! Just press 'leave comment' and that's it!

14th November Blog

11/15/2020

Hello everyone - hope you are all keeping well and safe!

Today is Saturday 14th November, it’s a little rainy day here in Spain but still lovely and warm.

This week we have been remarkably busy again for us! Not just with work although we have been all over with one job and another.

Our work took us to La Marina, Ciadad Quesada, La Zenia, Torrevieja, Murcia and Alicante just to name a few. We’ve really covered some tarmac this week!

In addition to our work commitments, this week we have been to collect our TIE cards (Residency Cards) from Alicante, after a long drive up there, all we had to do was give our finger prints again and that was it! Didn’t take 2 Min's but worth the drive there and back.

On Monday afternoon we went to do our medical assessment to allow us to exchange our UK driving licences for Spanish ones. All I can say OMG! I have never seen anything like it LOL! We had an appointment in Rojales, Eventually after being called in after waiting an hour we were greeted by a chap that completes the paperwork… yes, more paperwork! A few simple questions like have you ever had an eye operation and do you take any medication. Then a simple hearing test and eye test. I swear the letters were so big I could have read them from 5 mile away! Once that was done we had to do a ‘hand – eye’ coordination test; this can only be described as a 1970’s computer game with two lanes flowing down the screen and a ball in each… the lanes start to swerve and your job, using the two handles, is the keep the balls in between the lines. A tad tricky but we both managed it! I scored 86% and Phil 93%. All we have to do is take the signed papers to ‘Traffico’ and then wait for our new licences to arrive! God knows how long that will take with the Spanish postal system.

Business continues to flourish, things have been so busy we’ve been working weekends to ensure we don’t let any of our clients down… think we are in for a hell of a summer season if a summer season is allowed! Phil is the brains behind the business side of things and reports that currently we are 28.9% ahead of budget! We expected a really quite last quarter but my god.. you would think we were the only Cleaning and Key Holding business around! We know we could be busier, but we refuse to do things underhand. Our business is legally registered and therefore we pay into the Spanish tax system… many ‘Cleaning Businesses’ operate under the radar therefore do not have to charge IVA (Spanish VAT) as we have too. Nevertheless, we will continue to operate legally as we have found many clients prefer that and do not mind paying the IVA.

So, Phil has decided to take up a new sport… PADEL. It’s very big here in Spain. He and some of his friends are playing for the first time this coming Monday… I’ll report back on how this goes lol! There may be a ‘nearly new’ PADEL racket for sale very soon!

That’s your lot for now…. Let me know how things are going for you… feedback is always welcome and always very much appreciated!

Remembrance Sunday Blog

11/8/2020

Hello everyone! Hope you are all well and keeping safe?

Well, what can I say about this week, it has been so busy with work that's why my blog it late being released, apologies for that.

We have been all over this week and seem to have had no personal time whatsoever! We have entered November and I am still in shorts – how cool is that? We did have rain this week, that ‘dirty rain’ which seems to be full of sand, takes an eternity to get everything cleaned back up! Our car is absolutely covered in the stuff!

Nothing to report on the driving front has it’s been that busy to get out and practice BUT, hopefully, we have use of a smaller car next week so I can get out and try it out!

We have several new customers and due to business demands, we have even been out working today and its Sunday! what is all that about LOL.

The 5th of November was different here has it’s just not a big thing here, I even forgot what day it was anyway! it’s so easy to do that here, not knowing what day you are on it really weird.

I see England are back in lockdown for 4 weeks, my family. just like many others, are all trying to make scene of it all and trying to keep safe and be there for each other, its hard being here and not seeing them but on other hand I get to see them on face time or WhatsApp so that a good thing. I cannot wait until we can go see them.

Phil and I go for our medicals tomorrow to exchange our driving licences to Spanish ones. everything seems a long process to get the most basic things done here.

Not much has changed here in Spain, we still cannot travel out of our areas without good reason and you must fill a form in for that reason asking why where and for how long.
I do not think there is anything else, last time we looked nothing had changed unless I have missed it, if it has let me know.

Christmas is coming around fast again; do not think it’s going to be much of one, but we can only make of it what we can. We are still hoping to get back to the UK for a week at Christmas but hand on heart, I don’t really think it will happen.

Anyway, I will sign off for now – another busy week ahead for us…

Stay Safe and take care!

Hi Everyone - Happy Halloween!

10/31/2020

Hey everyone, hope you are all well and keeping safe!

It’s Saturday 31st October!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Well, today is Halloween, this is a huge event here in Spain, celebrated by many. Everywhere is busy today as everyone gets ready for the Holiday. Halloween over here is for the living to remember their lost ones, because it has fallen on a Sunday this year and with the current COVID situation things will be a little quieter that normal, if things were ‘normal’ there would be party's and celebrations going on everywhere.

Better known as El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead or All Souls Day), Halloween in Spain is a three-day celebration that kicks off on October 31st with Dia de las Brujas (Day of the Witches), continues with Dia de Todos los Santos (All Saints Day) on November 1st, and culminates with Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) on November 2nd.
Far from being a commercial holiday, the Spanish Halloween is all about honouring the dead and celebrating the continuity of life. Accordingly, specific customs and rituals can be observed throughout the country, most of them like those in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking nations. For instance, during the Dia de Todos los Santos, which is a public holiday, many families gather at the grave of their deceased relatives with holy water, flowers, food, and drink to rejoice and socialise.
This week has been busy for us, we had lots of new jobs come in and some more enquiries into our services for 2021!

Early in the week, Phil had to climb over one of our client’s walls as the lock on the gate had ceased up and would not open. He had to go over the wall to try the key in the lock on other side. And it worked! After lubricating the lock we got it open and all is fine now but was funny watching him clamber over… LOL.

We have also been out and about this week, we went up to La Marina, a beautiful place with a lovely beach, just nothing much else there! I suspect you’d would need a car it you needed to go anywhere such as shopping, restaurants etc.

We also stopped at Guardamar del Segura to have a look around the open market, as things happen, there was no market! Maybe it is a seasonal event or maybe been forced to close due to COVID – we’re not sure! There are some nice shops there and you can stroll down to the beach front where there are more bars and restaurants. Nice walk but it does seem to be seasonal there and again not much going on.

We also went for a look around Sant Pola. This is like a little Torrevieja with a lovely marina to walk around. Lots of nice bars, restaurants, and shops to go look around. There is a boat trips to a little island Tabarca, sailing only takes 15 mins to get there, we didn’t have time to go on the trip on this occasion but think it is something we will doing in the near future.

On Friday we were out to a job today in Torrevieja, the Police are out ‘in force’ stopping people, checking cars and vans, this is something we are not use to as we don’t get it back in UK, it very normal here to see a lot and the Police, they are very assertive here you don’t mess with them, the polar opposite to the Police in the UK.

Like many other areas in Spain, we have had our borders closed here in Valencia to try and control the spread of COVID, we can leave Valencia but only for specific reasons. Bars and Restaurants have had a tightening of controls imposed, all must close earlier and everyone must be home between midnight and six in the morning!

Take care everyone, stay safe!

Catch-up 25th October

10/25/2020

Hello everyone,

What a nice October Sunday morning we are having, beautiful weather here in Spain again!

It is Halloween soon and only 9 weeks to Christmas, where does time go! Last night, well, the early hours of this morning, the clocks went back, I did not know this happened in Spain was shocked, I still have all sorts to learn with our new life here LOL. Halloween (or ‘The Day of the Dead’ as it’s referred too here in Spain) seems a massive concern! It seems more geared around adults and some regions celebrate it for days on end!

The Valencian Government announced a bit of a mini lockdown here yesterday, we are not allowed out between the hours of 12 midnight and 6am morning, so this is having some small problems for the bars etc. They are all having to make adjustments to comply with the regulations; maximum 6 at a table, all tables 2 meters apart, no smoking unless in dedicated area and a maximum of 2 people at a time; no alcohol served after 10pm and before 8am! No drinking at the bar… the list goes on….. and on! Masks are compulsory everywhere you go at all times – no exceptions! On the spot fines for non-compliance!

This week I have been trying to drive our new car for the first time. We got a car for work so we could get everything in we needed and be able to pick friends up when visiting so we purchased a 7-seater, 2 litre diesel, never have I had such a big car or had to drive one so the ‘driving lessons’ are not going too well at the moment lol. This is one of those times I wish I had my little Mazda 2 back with me.

After the mad week we had last week, this week has been a little quieter for us, we have been out to do some deep cleans and had to arrange some contractors and get them booked in for a few odd jobs for one of our clients.
We are still hoping that we can get home for Christmas! We would really like to see our family and friend over the ‘festive’ period in whatever form that takes given the current situation. We miss them so much even though I talk to them most days via phone or video call.

Hi Kim! hope you’re keeping well? Thanks for liking my blog, we miss you guys and can’t wait to come see you both when, or if, we get back to the UK at Christmas.

We that is it for this week don’t think I have missed anything.

What a week it has been!

10/18/2020

Hi everyone,

Hope all is well with everyone and that you are all keeping safe.

Well this week has been full on busy week for Sun-Shine Cleaning Services, we have been just about everywhere this week, we have covered lots of miles but been to some lovely places and met some really nice people.

On Monday it was a Holiday here in Spain so not a lot was open or going on, seems like Spain comes to a standstill on holiday days, this allowed us to spend the day at home. Not sitting idle, doing paperwork and marketing stuff - seems never ending sometimes!

On Tuesday we had to go to Alicante with our friend Ana to complete our residencia. We were told to take a passport size photo with us, Phil tried on the computer to find a template but with no success so we started the day having our photo taken at a post office in Villamarin, after that headed out to pick Ana up then the drive to Alicante! We got there with 5 minutes to spare before our appointment! We were only in with the officers 5 minutes although at first, they didn’t want to accept the passport pictures we had taken for 8 euros due to them being ‘poor quality’! 8 euros for two pictures taken from the guys mobile phone and printed out! Lesson learnt!

On Wednesday we had a job on in La Zenia for a lovely couple with a large villa! Took around 3 hours but we were very pleased with the finished work and more importantly, so was the client.

Thursday we were in Ciadad Quesada, this is a regular booking to clean another large villa for a lovely couple and they’re little dog! The dog is a rescue dog and shy around people, he’s not used to us yet but he’s getting there and in time we’re sure we will be giving hugs and cuddles!

Friday saw us head to Torrevieja to do deep clean for one of our regular customers, We only got half way (30 minute drive) when someone….. that would be Phil, remembered he hadn’t brought the key! Back home then to collect them! It was a long, hard day and it’s still not finished, we’re back next week to complete the job! Looking good though even if I say so myself!

On Saturday we went to another clients to do a check on one of our key holding villas, this involves checking the property, meter readings, water flushing, quick clean and sweep and checking mail boxes. A lovely property indeed…

All in all we have been all over this week. I have even had a go at driving our car today, must say I feel like am learning to drive again! I don’t think I’m ready for roads yet lol…. think Phil will agree too. Just seems harder than it looks driving and changing gear with the right hand! Guess I’ll get used to it in time though!

Finally, We’ve have our fights changed by Ryanair, we were due to fly to the UK on 23rd December to see my Dad, they have changes the flight to the 20th so we have ended up with 2 more days with him all being well and that we can get out there, we just have to see what Boris has to say closer to the time.

Anyway, take care everyone! Stay Safe!

Final Blog of the Week

10/9/2020

Morning everyone,

Looks like we had some rain in the night but lovely blue sky's again today.

Paul that sounds good to meet up for a beer let me know when its a good time for you both, hope your move goes well for you, exciting times!

Val, I know we had to cancel a lot of events before we come over to Spain to live so I know how hard it is for you, just keep safe! I will never forget the people I have had the privilege to meet whilst being involved with Guide Dogs and what it means for them to have a life again makes me feel so lucky.

Hi Charlotte, hope your keeping well? if the mosquitoes are the only down side I can cope with that lol. Phil will just have to man up. I must say the other bugs here for me are cockroaches, never been scared of them just don't like them, who does and with the temperatures here, they thrive? When we first arrived, I think it was on the second day, we had been out shopping and while we were gone the other villa owners decided to drain the pool to put some new submerged lighting in, they decide to clean the drainage out at the same time so when we got back they was just lifting of one of the drain covers, I am not joking when I say there was 100s and 100's of cockroaches coming out of the drains! It was comical watching the guys trying to spray them and hitting them with their shoes trying to kill them - was like watching a comedy show! The council here go round and spray down all the drains then place a green dot on the drain lid to show it's been completed. With COVID virus and Spain's lockdown they are still slightly behind with a lot of things here but are caching up slowly but surely.

Today (Friday 9th October) is a holiday in Spain (know as a Red Day), it is the 'Day of Valencia' a historical commemoration of the date in 1238 when king James 1 officially entered the city of Valencia and freed it from 'Moorish rule' this holiday day is only for the Valencia area which we come under, there is another 'Red Day' on Monday, 'Spanish National Day'. Spanish festivals are big here, there is 1 every month it seems and they seem to last for a month! Some festivals end with fireworks displays. I have not been able to go to any with everything that's been going on in the world although we watched the 'Festival of San Miguel' from our roof top solarium.

I still get Sky News over here and I'm watching how the UK are managing the rise in COVID-19 infections throughout the UK! When will this ever go away? It seems like the UK Government are looking at some form of lockdown again; not good at all. Here is Spain many tell me how strict the lockdown was here! In fact the Police are still very stict with compliance with the restrictions; I've know them enter pubs and measure the distance between tables and how many are gathered around the table. I've seen at first hand someone getting an on the spot fine for not wearing a mask!

My question for you all is; How did you cope during lockdowns? Did you learn new things, how did you keep busy or perhaps you, like me, had to continue to work through it! Very interested to hear how you managed!

Well, that's it for now - we are off to the beach for a good long walk - Red Day and all that!

Stay safe everyone,

Jack's xx

Thank you for your replies

10/8/2020

Hi everyone,

It has been so nice to hear from you all and welcome to my blog.

I have never done anything like this before so it's all new to me.

Gill, it is so hard to be self employed (Autonomo) in a new places and not knowing anyone. We are just on with Resdencia the moment, how long you been here Gill? thank you for your reply, it's nice to chat even online!

Jo, thank you for your support look forward to hearing from you.

Val, Phil says hi and he misses working and meeting up with everyone and working with Guide Dogs! Say hello to everyone from us both please!

I am learning fast that most things in business here is done by word of mouth. I've also noted there is lack of letter boxes which I find strange, the postal services is fairly hit and miss! I am finding it hard to find and make new friends as I am not use to doing so, you would think after 40 odd years I would be able to (LOL) but still does not come easy to me. We have only been here since early July and most people around us have returned to England, we are the only people around so it's a good job I love my hubby.

The things I have learnt from being here is we stayed in la Mata for 2 weeks before we moved in to the villa where we are now, La Mata a lovely places to go visit if you get the chance. Phil has learnt more Spanish in La Mata than where we are currently as everyone is English here so speaking Spanish is not needed.

You can't wash your car on the street you have to got to a registered car wash - not something that impresses Phil but he'll have to learn to accept it. It seems Spanish love paperwork and boy there are lots of paperwork here in Spain! If we are going to do anything we now take everything with us and there will still be something we have not got when we get there!

It seems that everyone or most people have a dog, they are very big out here (in one way or another) lol. Your not meant to feed wild cats has they are there to chase mice and if you feed them they are not doing what they are meant to do! We know one lady here who must have at least 30 cats!

As for bugs!!!!!!!!!! Phil is of the opinion that everything wants to bite or eat you! We are both constantly being 'eaten' by mosquito's no matter what we do!

I even had to get a lizard out of the villa because Phil would have just stood on it! Think he's coming round now a little just not with Mosquito's!

We recently purchased a Spanish car, that was the best thing we did as we came to Spain in a van, this was simply so we could move everything across here! The police stopped us all the time because it was GB number plate, it got to the point where we didn't want to go out in it anywhere .

Spanish is harder for me to pick up then Phil i just cant get my head around it - he seems to be picking it up quite easily.

Pleases feel free to reply - its really nice to sit and read your comments!

Keep safe everyone,

Jack's xx

About Jack's.

Hello, I'm Jack's, a Business Partner with Sun-Shine Cleaning Services. My blogs will be is based on one thing - to get people talking! In these uncertian times, it's more important than ever to get chatting, find out about each other and have a general chit-chat! So, here goes, a little about me!

Having moved to Spain permanantly after spending my whole life in the UK, I now own Sun-Shine Cleaning Services with my husband Phil, I have always been involved in the Cleaning and Hygiene sector all of my working life so it's fair to say, I know a thing or two! I managed a full Hygiene team before 'upping sticks' as they say!

The business is doing well; we knew things would slow down after the 'summer season' but due to following our Business Plan, we are slightly ahead of budget. We purposly came towards the end of the season to start slowly before gearing up for hopefully a busy 2021 season!

I enjoy many things in my free time such as excersing, long walks, social interaction, travelling and 'chilling' (when time allows)!

What do I miss about the UK? Family and Friends - that's it!

What do I love about Spain? The climate, meeting new people, the food, the relaxed pace of life!

So there's a little about me - let's hear about you! I look forward to hearing from you.

Take care and stay safe - Jack's x
