Acknowledgments
Massive thanks to you, Elle Gandy-Draper, for generously allowing me to use Spanish recipes plucked from your new Spanish cookbook. If readers would like to see more, do head over to Spainbuddy.com where you’ll find the recipe book, and a treasure trove of useful information for the Spanish expat.
Thanks again to Nick Saltmer who painted the fabulous cover picture. I’ve lost count how many covers you have designed for me, Nick, and I love them all.
Thanks also to Julie Haigh and Pat Ellis for your friendship and beta-reading talents. Skills like yours are essential for knocking any book into shape.
Big thanks and hugs to you, Joe, for your input and editing skills, and heartfelt thanks to my family for allowing me to write about you. Joe, Karly, Cam, Indy, my books would be so much duller without you.
Thank you Spain and El Hoyo for putting up with us for eleven years. To say you will always be in our hearts is a huge understatement.
Sincere thanks to all the wonderful Facebook friends I have made since I wrote my first book. Your loyalty and support often takes my breath away. Particular thanks to the members of the We Love Memoirs Facebook group. You are totes stonking amazebobs…
This memoir reflects my recollections of experiences over a period of time. In order to preserve the anonymity of the wonderful people I write about, some names have been changed, including the name of the village. Certain individuals are composites and dialogue and events have been recreated from memory and, in some cases, compressed to facilitate a natural narrative.
