Hi Simon

We completed on our appartment 12-3-k in the last block, just before Christmas.  We are very pleased with our purchase and we visited for New Year.

Although it was very quiet, we absolutely loved it and can't wait to enjoy the warmer weather in the Summer.  The areas were well kept and there were regular sightings of gardeners and cleaners - even at that time of year.

We had a few thing to sort on our snagging list and Marissa's replacement was very helpful (sorry, i can't remember her name.)

It's a shame that so many people have found themselves in a position where they have not been able to proceed with their purchase and I hope all works out for them financially.  The exchange rates have been a massive blow to everyone.  We made the decision to proceed with the purchase because we had looked forward to the change in our lifestyle for so long.

Eventually, we hope to spend more and more time in Spain.  Jim's mother is a native of the Costa del Sol although she lives in UK.  Jim would prefer to be in Spain permanently, but my job and family keep me in the UK.

We very much look forward to meeting new friends and have no doubt that the apartments will fill up in time.  They are in a lovely spot and built to a very good quality, compared to others we viewed, and we did look at an awful lot.

We can only encourage people to carry on with their purchases, if they are financially able to do so, and before long we will all be part of a wonderful thriving community.

Hope to see you all soon.

Gill and Jim
