Plodding on

2010 continued where 2009 left off but there is some light at the end of the tunnel. We had a helping hand from the bank and the RBS Six Nations Rugby has kicked off so things are finally looking brighter in the bar.

Need to find time to do a bit of DIY on the house before we place it on the market, house prices have recovered a little so we can at last hope for a sale with a reasonable return.

Portugal June 2009 seem like a million years away, we were so happy during that one month and the thought of a permanent move there keeps us going. We plan to visit Pat & Rick again this year and do a bit more house scouting, can't wait!

The snow and ice has finally melted and more people are out and about, though there are fears it will be returning before long,  god I hope not, an empty bar is such a depressing place.

Actually managed to get out on the bike for a spin over the weekend, the sun was out but was well wrapped up so did not feel the chill too much, felt alive for the first time in weeks!
