Family life in Marbella:

Cheryl:
"The weather! I know that’s the classic, but it was a very closed life. It’s all behind closed doors. Here there are parties all the time, and meeting people, it’s all part of the life here. The kids have friends of different nationalities, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Argentian, it enriches them in every way, to make relationships with people from different cultures. "

"The kids are sleeping up on the terrace (because it’s so warm) the noise is reduced and they can meet all their friends too! I like cycling into work, and the heat slows you down, which I like.


Graeme:
"I never fit into the UK, and when we went back after living here and I tried again, but I couldn’t do it, there were not enough characters or colours. There’s a little restaurant in La Campana which is like something out of film, it’s  great family restaurant, with fantastic service. There’s nothing about the UK that I miss. "

"The most special moment is when we come back on a June day and go down to the beach and the kids run and splash around in the sea. It’s great."


Cheryl:
"When you want something in life you have to go for it, otherwise your life passes you by and before you know it, it’s too late.  "
