    The new place is 3 hours from Andorra. We'll still be in Andorra for the winters, and using the farm the rest of the time. If it gets too hot down there at any point, we'll come back up to Andorra. It's a really easy drive, so we can pick and choose where we want to be, depending on the weather.

    There is mobile (cell) service there, yes, but we need to arrange Spanish contracts. Another thing on the list. Our Andorran contracts don't have 3G - we're a bit backwards when it comes to that. Once we have electricity to the house, we'll be using wimax for our internet.

    I really like goats. Does that make up for it? They're almost sheep!

    Everybody knows that if there's one thing sheep hate, it's being lumped in with the goats.

    I've been talked into creating a blog. We'll see how long that enthusiasm lasts. It's not as if I don't have a few other things to fill my time with! :wasntme:

    I'm sure my parents will be the only ones interested in reading it, so I'm not going to stress too much about it.

    :thelambiesarecoming:I know you don't like sheep, but you never know! Actually they can be very intellegent and loving! However, goats would be more useful eatinb up all your scrub!

    Exactly. She's done it now. They'll be in their isolated Spanish farmhouse (with plywood for a door) and one dark night there'll be a baaaa outside, and another, and another......no phone, no near neighbours, all alone....

    My son (who studied archaeology) says that the bones of sheep and goat are virtually identical. In archaeological speak, they are called sheepgoats.
