There are times in anyones life when you want to run away and start again, but mostly it's a dream, or a way to get over a bad day. For me it all started with the realisation that increasing health problems meant I could no longer continue to work at the level I had for a number of years. I was finding winters difficult as my arthritis got worse and as a new but avid golfer, winters in England were a continual struggle against the cold, the rain and the mud.
After discussions with my husband about me finishing work and going into semi-retirement, we agreed it was the right thing for me and that I would finish at Christmas and get a part time job locally. Over a bottle of wine one weekend later with some good friends the discussion turned to why we would stay in this country if I was no longer in the job where I had been for over 20 years when somewhere warmer would be much more beneficial to my health and before long, we were discussing a move to Spain.
Initially I thought it was just one of those drunken discussions that friends have on a Saturday night, but in the cold light of day - it still seemed a good idea, and so the seed was sown and with a lot of discussion over the next few days we realised it made a lot of sense.
And so in February 2007 we started the next step - research!
