not all doom and gloom you know

Hi all,

following on from the 'doom & gloom' thread i think it needs a reminder of why we came here. 

yes there is corruption, bad economy and hard times ahead (you cheered up yet!)

BUT

tell me one place in the world where that isn't happening?

so all that aside, remember why we moved out here and enjoy the sun, sea, slower pace of life and be happy. It's not always easy with everything that's going on, but you could be back in the UK experiencing exactly the same problems with crap weather to boot!

keep smiling and let's not live life like a daily mail special story!

Well said, Mattress cleaning (strange name by the way).

I've been here 30 years and really nothing's changed that much. It's just that communications are better now and we hear about anything and everything from all over Spain, so it seems worse than it really is. As we all know bad news always attracts more attention than good..  You so rightly say this is a worldwide problem and where better to suffer it.?  Surely even  with the crisis life is still great here, the sun, the sea, the sand, the fiestas, are all free so you can still enjoy yourself without breaking the bank

Say it again, Ryan, with feeling!

"keep smiling and let's not live life like a daily mail special story!

this is for all the miserable sods!

 Mattress, I have a feeling your icon is trying to tell me something but I can't quite put my finger on it....

 i should hope not, lol.

see isn't this a more cheerful thread

It's no better here in the UK!  At least you can enjoy months of uninterrupted sunshine!

Yes.  I am reminded of a saying:
