I really wish I could get down to just learning some Spanish for a start !! I would love to be able to talk to my neighbors,friends Its  hard work with sign language or scratching "poor" drawings in the dirt I  made a new friend "farmer" last time over but as the week went on he just stopped trying to talk to me as we both knew that I did not understand a word !!!!
By the way everything is moving on at speed for my 1st driving down to Tortosa trip in February. Just bought a van (06 LT35) priced up ferry etc..... and  Euro Tunnel cheapest at £309 Return,  contacted Les the van man for advise but  no reply as yet, so any advise Re the Trip appreciated,  reccomended route down, good places  to stop, parts to avoid etc........
Thanks Phil :D
