In the eighties Britain was in an economic slump - confidence restored by the Falkland’s War became dissipated… Thatcher’s attempt to bring in a poll tax failed - public opinion scuppered it. The property market boomed - doubled over a period of four years. Partly due to a falling demand for exports and a high interest rate, prices began to fall over the next three years. Whilst all this was going on, we had moved to College Farm - to be nearer the girl’s school – they had pressed to be daygirls. I meantime had taken early retirement. Josephine’s employers giving her an invitation to develop the peninsular for financial services – to become a Director and service expatriates along the southern coastline… an offer we could not turn down. We packed our bags. Taking Anna made our way to Andalucia and the pleasures of a white walled town and a terraced garden.
