This morning is about waiting for the second assessor to come. We dropped the car off at the garage at 8:30 am, and are now waiting in town for them to have come so that we can collect the car. I must admit finding the garage again this morning proved a challenge and included some rather cool reversing down a very step street in the village. I didn't hit anything and managed to do it if maybe annoying the odd local. Directions were sort and we got there in the end. Won't forget the route now! Spanish town work on a grid system where all the roads are either one way or no entry. This would be fine if the villages were flat and in a square, but up the side of a mountain on a angle this can get very confusing! The streets are very thin with only enough room for one car and if someone come out of their front door the chance of you taking them out with your wing mirror is really high. Slowly does it here. I have put some more pics of the place we are staying below and a really nice one of Amy in the tin bath last night sat in a total of about an inch of water. Water is in really short supply so no baths or showers here. Small bowl and some soap only. She had great fun though. I got an email from my insurance company today though saying that the other company have accepted liability for the damage and they are closing the case, which is great. It may take another year to get it fixed, but at least I'm not paying for it. we need to say hi to Chloe and Lisa who I know are reading this intently. Sending big hugs to you and see you real soon! To everyone else hi too and hope you are having some nice weather there too. You know it is warm here when I change down to a summer duvet. Never would I sleep without the duck down in England. By the end of the summer I my even be using just a sheet, who knows...hahahaha. Found the local supermarket yesterday and some wheat free biscuits...yay! Haven't had wheat free bread in a while and eating a lot of rice cakes. Pasta and other bits around though to having a good meal a day with snacky bits. We have had 362 people look at the blog, I don't know who? I don't think I know that many people? Maybe the adventures of a mum on her own in Spain are providing comedy value to someone out there. I would recommend it to anyone.  Nothing lie getting out of your comfort zone and doing something different. Life is far to short to be dreaming and not actually living it. Ignore your head, it tends to talk rubbish 90% of the time anyway. So here are the pics and I will update when we get news of the car and in a few days when we have been off to the rock pools to swim and have more pics. More comedy to come I'm sure!
