Hola - buenos dias!

Many, many years ago my wife and I talked seriously about the possibility of moving to Spain - well, Majorca actually. The main attraction - apart from the climate - was the cost of living. We reckoned our money would go at least twice as far there as it would here. For various reasons, we never got any further than talking about it, but how things have changed! Now people who did take the plunge back then are finding it difficult to manage, particularly with a weak pound buying less and less euros, and many of them are having to sell up and come back. I suppose it was naive to think that the economic disparity between the two countries would remain the same, but for a time, it was a nice dream.
