Well, after 3 months on the same site we are moving on tomorrow, next stop a small site in the mountains south-west of Murcia for two nights, then on to Granada.
We've enjoyed our stay here and we've met lots of lovely people - it's going to be difficult saying goodbye to them all tomorrow - but we are also looking forward to moving on and embarking on the next stage of our adventure. We've learnt a lot while we've been here - Spanish lessons, art classes, swimming lessons - we both feel we've had the chance (and the time) to develop new skills and abilities.
It may be a while before our next post as we don't know what Internet access will be like at the next few sites but we will leave you with one anecdote from our last week here.
Julie took Benji to have a trim at the same place we had taken him to when we first arrived here, mainly because they did such a good job first time round. However they had employed a new groomer and when Julie arrived they insisted on taking Benji away and wouldn't let Julie stay and watch as she had done the first time.
When Julie went back to get Benji she found that they had given hin the full poodle cut treatment - pom-pom wrists, ankles, thighs, head and tail. Julie was furious and managed to persuade them to remove the worst of the fluffy bits. But they had also shaved the rest of him down to his skin and there was nothing they could do to rectify that.
We have to put a coat on him if it gets a bit cold and he shivers at the slightest breeze.
At the moment he doesn't look like our Benji but we know it will grow back soon enough.
We decided not to to take any photos as we really don't want to remember him in this state. But from now on, Julie will take back her responsibility as chief Benji groomer!
