Lovely!

Original and different and I didn't find it too long.
I did miss a few more longer shots of the inside of the villa (lounging on the sofa watching TV!?)

Congratulations!

Have you tired setting up an IMAP account in Thunderbird for the account?

Imap downloads the mail from the server without deleting it so you can access the mails from other devices?

A friend has a popular sandwich bar in the centre of Barcelona with many photos of times past and present. One is a photo of the long queues that form outside and in English under the photo was people with tails. Colas in Spanish can be queues or tails so if you pick the wrong one! This is the recip...

If there is something that will put me in a bad mood it is translating. I HATE it with a passion. :twisted: People expect me to be a walking dictionary and can't understand when the words don't come at the speed of a 8GB memory card and maybe my mind is just elsewhere at that moment. What's this in ...

I was watching the news earlier on TVE and it is VERY bad in your area, not just dreary and showery! I think it was very nice of you to warn them and hope they have a nice break... As they say "A change is as good as a break" so they are sure to have a nice time.

Well done! Its a lovely place and i'm sure you will do very well. Just one thing regarding your web site.. One of the first things that my eyes were drawn to straight was the virtual tour. Great idea and photos but there is no way to get back to your site. Even the back button does not let you get b...

This must be very embarrassing for the people involved and this is probably why they didn’t mention it. Accidents can happen and hopefully this will never happen to me but if it did I would wash the dirty part in the sink to remove it and then say that I had spilt something on the sheet to justify i...

This makes me mad :evil: I am also a smoker, but I would never ever smoke in someone elses property. When visiting friends or on holiday I always smoke outside, regardless of the rules or if the weather is good and all the windows are open. This is a total lack of respect for someones property. I re...

Yes a dongle might be an idea (depending on 3g covarage, but this seems to be everywhere nowadays). We have one and it's 2 euros per day (Telefonica) that you connect, unlimited usage but speed does go down when you go over a certain amount. If you don't connect you don't pay. After 6 months they wa...

What a nightmare Bellywobble... I was self employed many years ago in the UK and I remember it did not cost me very much (I wasn't earning much then either!) I have just looked up that National insurance in the UK is 2.65 (pounds) per week up to a certain amount of earnings. Imagine the amount of pe...
