Here’s where it gets a bit more exciting folks — we appreciate that us sitting [more-or-less] on our bums in a Spanish apartment might not have made gripping reading for you over the last few months.

Actually, I’ve got to tell you that it’s not quite been all sitting on our fannies (for our American readers. Stop sniggering at the back there boy!) Rather, we’ve been putting quite a lot of effort into researching and debating various grand plans for our global crossing.

Rather than spam you all at once with our excitement, I’ll be drip-feeding you with nuggets of information over the next week or so — aren’t I mean? (As a matter of fact, does anyone care? And is anyone actually reading this blog any more;-)

For now though, suffice to say that my bank manager will likely be making contact with me imminently to discuss a rather large disbursement on my credit card, payable to various travel- and flight-booking outlets.
