I had to have two operations , one in Spain and one when I got back to the UK. Am OK now !
Also I saw that property prices were about to crash in Spain , so now was the time to return . Managed to sell quickly and got a good price.
I know some Brits who waited and are now stuck ,with no buyers and low prices !
Always intended to return to the UK sometime , missing family , but illness brought the decision forward !
We had a great life out there and I do miss the relaxed lifestytle , though the bureaucracy drove me mad !
