Ok, So today I thought I would tell you a bit about what it is like here in terms of differences. I am very pleased to say that it would seem that in all the large supermarkets there is a great selection of gluten free stuff. I managed to get goats milk, and an array of stuff when we went into town the other day. So they are up on that stuff. They serve tea with warm milk already in the cup, which takes a bit of getting used to, but as for that there really isn't anything I'm missing yet. The people here are very friendly and Matt has now become the boy to hang out with, even for all the boys too. I think this is due to him taking a large air bed into the pool and Tim being a shark for their game. This has made him very popular and everywhere we go on site you can hear children shout "Mathoow". It's very sweet. It is really hot here today and the first day we have stayed in side for a couple of hours midday. It is so nice! Tim is talking about moving here already. This is completely lead by the fact that the wine is only 80p per glass, and really good apparently. (I'm not tempting any migraines, as touch wood haven't had one here yet!)I think the cheap wine, sun, and fresh baked bread delivered has sold him already. He's easily pleased. The wine is cheaper here and most other things to, but not by loads. I have been told that this changes as we head south and it gets cheaper still. We will see. No one gets up before 11am here and then they just go straight into lunch, which is actually dinner. They then all sit around together until the evening drinking and chatting and the children play. They stay up very late and the chidren are still running around playing at 10pm or 11pm easy. I feel asleep last night at midnight with them still playing in the park. Hence we have started sleeping in late too. This is a holiday camp and so they make the most of the evening warmth to play and chat. They eat at very different times here. They eat a big dinner all together at around 2 or 3, then just a lunch at around 9pm. Lots of tapas at this time. We are getting used to moving our eating times to be a bit more social, or we are the only ones ever in the restaurant. Tim and the kids are back in the pool at the moment. Lots of time in there the last few days. Will update you when we know what the deal in with the car tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
