We've got some excellent articles in today's newsletter.  This has to be the best newsletter yet this year.

BUT, before you read them, as usual, just a couple of quick announcements.

Firstly, we have set the date and location for our 5 year anniversary bash.  It will be held at Lo de Andres in Sabinillas on the Costa del Sol on 11 July 2009.  I hope you'll be able to make it for a fun evening. I will send out more details very soon.

Secondly, another anniversary that is fast approaching is the date when Susan, the twins and I first arrived to start our new life in Spain.  On 30 June 2009 we will have been here 5 years!  We have been working very hard on a brilliant (yes I'm biased) video series called "Spain Uncut" where Susan and I cover in huge detail our lives in Spain over the past 5 years. What we did right and what we did (very) wrong.

I'll let you know more about this very soon and how you can get hold of it but I'm very excited about this, it's the best product we've EVER put together and it's shaping up to be SOOOO good.

Anyway, moving on, hope you enjoy today's articles.

Remember that you can also submit your own articles for publication in the newsletter and on the website.
