18th March
It wasn’t
a very nice day – chilly and rather grey.
Ingrid
and Bob had made their minds up which house they want for next year so went off
early to see one of the letting agents to book it. The owner lives in South America so they had
to wait until he got up to see if they could have it!
Meanwhile
Richard and I walked up to Casa Cristonia, the villa we are renting next
year. The owners, Steve and Dorothy, are
here for a couple of weeks, so we had arranged to meet them. They are lovely people though it did seem to
a bit strange knowing that we would be staying in their house next year. It is a lovely villa with an amazing view – I
can’t wait!
We went
up to Bedar to the Restaurante Miramar for a late lunch. Once again, we had the lamb which if anything
was better than our last visit. It was a
little chilly sitting out on the terrace and, even though, we had taken Muffin
a blanket to lie on he was still shivering.
Sadly,
Ingrid got the call from the letting agent to say that owner of the villa they
wanted is going to come over to Mojacar at the beginning of 2020, so the villa
won’t be available for rent.
In the
evening we actually put the TV on – we haven’t had it on for days!

Ingrid
and Bob were leaving us today. We have
had a lovely time with them. I think all
four of us had been a little worried about how it was going to work out, but it
was fun and very enjoyable. I look
forward to another stay away with them somewhere.
We had
lunch and then I & B left. I was
very sad to see them go but I threw myself into catching up on the blog as I
was so behind!
I'm looking to retire this year and would love some guidance about agencies etc; and tips for spending the winter months abroad. Our 50ft narrowboat is great in the summer and sometimes even in the depths of winter (except the grey skies can be depressing). Do you have some tips you can share with me, and your other readers, letting agents, what to avoid, what's good. Thanks
