How to start a blog….?

After 5 years in London, my husband and I decided we wanted to start a family and move to sunnier climes to be nearer my family. So we sold our lovely one bedroom flat in Stoke Newington, North London to our best friends and moved here to Valencia.
This is where we lived. Outside the huge window you can see my beloved Beetle Bernard (second name Butler after the guitarist from Suede!) Bernard was a seventeenth birthday present from my sis, and the beautiful racing green paintjob was a bribe from my father to get me to move back from New Zealand! Bernard is 40 years old now but he's still going strong and we drove him over from the UK. We did however get the ferry to Bilbao coz although he's in good shape I didn't want to put him through such a long drive! The second pic is my old bedroom. On the wall is a thirteeth birthday present from my husband Jon, a limited edition print by Natasha Law. I found Natasha's work when she did the illustrations for a book by an author my old agency used to represent. The book was "How To Walk in High Heels" by Camilla Morton - it's a lovely book and I fell in love with the images in it - so delicate and pretty. I was completely chuffed with my gift to say the least. Also in the pic is our apple Mac without which I would be lost.
These pictures show what we've bought here in Valencia: This is the lounge - we fell in love with the huge bay windows not really realising the work needed to get them looking good. The wood underneath all the layers of white paint is actually rather lovely but I have yet to find someone who will do the job. The first thing we did though was to get rid of the doors... The light now is much better but the place is a building site! We've done quite a bit of work already. What used to be the bathroom and kitchen has had a wall knocked down and is now just the kitchen. As you can see the floor is beautiful and it's given me lots to play with colouur-wise! Very exciting - now all I need is electricity, water and windows...
