As I begin to type this, the time is 10.15am, or for those of you who forgot to change your clocks, it’s 9.15am! The sun is shining, there isn’t a cloud in the sky and the usual wind is just a gentle breeze – it’s going to be hot today! We’re often asked what the…
Once we had decided we were emigrating to Fuerteventura, one of the next questions was, “what do we take with us?”. Not only was the home we were leaving stuffed full of items, it had a huge farm barn, a porta-cabin, garage and kennels, all of which had stuff in. We’re big on hoarding and,…
On first coming over to Fuerteventura, we hired a car from our usual place, Autoreisen, at the airport for just 4 weeks. We knew that if we hadn’t managed to buy a car in that period we would be able to extend our hire, but wasn’t sure if we would get the same good deal….

Well, it certainly took a long time, but we have finally arrived on our one-way journey to Fuerteventura, on 22nd February 2017! It was an early start for us this morning. Our friend, Pam O’Loughlin, was taking us to the airport, and we had loaded up her car yesterday. At 4am this morning she collected…
Finally!! We have at long last exchanged contracts on the sale of our home in the UK, and have a week to organise everything before flying out to Fuerteventura. Panic? Me? Never!!!! Shipping of all our worldly goods was booked, plus flights for both us and our 3 dogs that we are taking with us,…
