cherryade chocolate some beers, sad i know not a bad exchange

My family & friends and also the shops
ie M & S, B.H.S and Boots. Certainly not the weather !!

M and S - Sainsburys - the leafy lanes of Sussex - The Downs - Cows and Sheep

I miss the seasons

The cheap flights to get here hahahaha, as they are all soooo expensive now, oh well will have to stay here hee! hee!

My mates, shopping, Green grass, The Harvester and McDonalds milkshakes.

Oh Yes Nikki I agree with you - green grass. We don't see much of that in this part of Spain do we ??
There are a few McDonalds over here. I go to the one in Elche shopping mall, but I don't know if they do your milk shakes or not !!

Souxie, I am with you there,I am at the moment in the leafy lanes of Sussex, Sun shining 24 degrees, green fields, Livestock all around me, but then again I love Spain to, there is good and bad for all regions. If only we could stop the corruption that is abundant in Spain,life could be a pleasure.

I miss my family and friends, the green fields and hills , and being able to walk the moors of Lancashire.

I forgot a few things - I really miss not being able to go clothes/shoe shopping on a Sunday - there are hardly any shopping malls open here on a Sunday, except Eroski at Pillar de la Horradada - that is the only one that we have found over here that actually opens Sundays !! Also I am a keen Gambler - No not that kind - the slot machines ie 2p's or if I'm feeling rich the 10p's. I miss places like Hayling Island, Littlehampton Smarts Amusement Arcade, the piers (especially Bognor & Brighton) in Sussex - I like the grabba machines - it's fun, but nothing like that over here in Spain at all. A few rides for the kids on Torrevieja sea front and maybe a grabba machine - similar near the Torrevieja shopping mall. But nowhere you can actually go for a day out for this sort of thing that I know of. That's it for now folks. Might think of a few more things later x

Well I have something in common with you Carol,a liking for places like Brighton(I enjoyed walking down the Lanes)Bognor I had a caravan at Bognor for about 12 years,I also had a penchant on a bright winters day of popping down to Bognor(60 miles) for a bag of chips and eating them on the front,Those were the days,I am sorry Spain but nowhere can you match those memories

Oh Yes - the lanes. I used to go there a lot. I remember getting some lovely dresses there (I don't think you would have that in common with me) ha ha. I bet it's not the same as we remember it now !!

Absolutely nothing!!!!!! (nikki, if you put strawberry ice cream, a splash of milk and a spoon full of strawberry nesquick in the blender it tastes just like a maccy dee shake!)

i only miss my family and friends! nothing else, i have adapted myself to the spanish way of life, if iam going to live here i have to forget all the little british things and stop comparing, otherwise what was the point moving out here! when in rome as they say (or should i say spain lol) i even eat mainly spanish food

Trust me. Summer here is great.........if you dont actually have to do anything. I love it on my day off when I can move at my own pace and get in and out the pool as I please. Working in it, now thats a nightmare, unless you have air con on all the time, but thats to expensive. So on the really hot days I miss england.

the 1st winter here you will find its not really that cold, but trust, once you have aclimatised, the 2nd winter will feel as cold as the uk lol, its what you get used to over the years, i now wear light jumpers, coat, jeans socks and warm underwear in the winter months lol x

we have lived here for over 3 years now and have NEVER looked back, the way of life here is soo different, life isnt easy here, but guess no more than anywhere else in the world, survival of the fittest lol, good luck with your move x
