In 2007 Colin was closing in on retirement age, having spent more than 40 years working for various universities, government departments, and consulting companies in various places around the world. After some discussion, he and his wife, Josefina, set off to look around Spain, with which Josefina had a family connection. They ended up buying a house in Olvera, Andalucía. They also decided that 2010 would be a good year to retire; that was when Colin reached 65.
This book is a collection of letters they sent to friends and family during their time in Spain. The letters deal with the trials and tribulations of renovating their house, settling into Olvera, getting to know the neighbours, coming to terms with Spanish bureaucracy, and generally having fun in their new surroundings. Some letters are about trips they made both within Spain and to other places nearby. There is a prelude that explains how they ended up in their Spanish village, and some final words that Colin hopes don't sound too much like a rant.
