Hello, Long time no hear...
We are here! We actually made it to the first place a few days ago. We got the car going and although still with no back window and the dent it works. We got to our first place and had a most warm welcome. We are in a little village called El Perello. It is very small and every one knows everyone. The people we are staying with are in their 80s and need a bit of help around the house. I have been helping weed the garden and will do some painting in exchange for the caravan being here. we don't have water of electric, but the solar panels we brought for the caravan seem to be doing the job and giving us enough for lights and to  charge my phone up. You will have to excuse the rushed blog with lots of typos as we no longer have any internet and I have to go don to the village and use the wifi in a cafe. this means that I have the time it takes for the children to drink a lemonade to get everything done. I have pics on my phone, but again it will take a bit of getting used to and organising to get it all in one place to get them on here. No more modern technology.  So we have explored the area a bit and are slowly getting used to the heat. Which is every day here. It's so nice in the evening. We are off to find a camp site that has a laundry and a pool this afternoon so we can ash and get washing done too. The people we are staying with have no mains power and only run a genie for two hours a day at 7am to charge their batteries. That obviously doesn't cover us being able to do washing or anything. So we are off in search of facilities. The insurance company sent out an assessor for the car yesterday, but being Spain are now shut until Monday. So I will phone them then and find out what happens next. who knows... Until then we swim and get into the routine of staying out of the sun in the afternoon and taking it a bit easier. I will update again as soon as I can, but everything has become much more difficult here. The gluten free foods are a fare distance away now along with everything else. We defiantly wouldn't settle here. We need to be on the out skirts of somewhere bigger then here for the things we need as a young family. Speak soon.
