We update the site on a very loose schedule. Normally, when we sit down to do any work on web pages, it's usually on the pages we're being paid to do and not on these ...... and those will be for magentasteel.com, our web design company. But we do try !

Our Gallery is mainly aimed at our friends and family to see what we have been up to but even if you don't fall into that category, you're welcome to have a look around.

As you will see if you look at our Gallery area, we have bought a house in Spain in 2007. We go over as often as possible and, though it wasn't in too bad a state when we bought it, we've made quite a few changes to it. And there are a few more to do but it is now in a state fit for accepting visitors and family and friends have already been over to stay with us.

Our attempts at learning Spanish lurch from poor to poorer but, bit by bit, we are getting more comfortable with being able to cope with situations there. And having only Spanish TV helps as you either get to grips with the language or surf until you find something worth watching that has an English soundtrack.
