Start of a New Adventure in Spain

April came with no concrete news on when the builder would be aloud to continue withe build.
The builder extented our bank guarantee for another year, this was done with the solicitor involved in the whole process, and informed us once he received all the paper work. So we could relax that our monies paid at least was safe.
The original one had expired on the 13th April, when the property should have been completed. This also gave ue time to decide what we were going to do.
One thought was to cancel and look for another propery, also the builder gave us an option to cancel this one and go for another one on different development, or hold out to see want might happen.
In the mean time I was looking around again on the net, to see want was about in a different area, but still in Almeria.
In May I received an e-mail from the estate agent of a property that was a re-sale and was a Cortijo, I looked at it, but discarded it.
Two days later, I went back in to my e-mails to look to see if I had deleted it, which I had not done, lucky or was it telling me something?
I read though the property description, not once but several times, and thought hard on the possibilities that this property had.
The existing owner was renovating it and also had planning permission obtained for the work, he was also looking at turning it in to a guest house, I thought this is it; the hardest part was to sell it to the wife, or so  I THOUGHT.
I showed her the pictures that I had been sent, the views from where the Cortijo was situated, were stunning. I gave her me spiel on the possibilities, she looked at me, then the pictures, with no expression to give me a indication on what she was thinking(like mad fool).
Minutes past, but seemed like forever, she looked at me and said lets do it.
