New Friends

Of all the people here in Aguilas, we got talking to a couple from the UK  that are here in their trailer/caravan for the winter. Ron is a retired Birmingham police officer, and Urshula worked at the QE hospital where I worked. They now live in a beautiful house near Moffitt, in Scotland.  We had lots in common, home, (U.K.) work, (Nurse/Police)  black tanks, gray tanks and amps. Ron and Urshula have lived on a yacht and sailed round the Mediterranean  for 7 years. They have owned 4 European motor homes, and are now on their 3rd trailer/caravan. Their latest is, I think, 22ft long, and really well laid out. We were both impressed with both the lay out and apparent quality of the unit.  We were invited round for dinner last Wednesday, and after a fantastic meal, we all talked the hind leg off a donkey. It was so nice to be in an RV again. One of their dreams is to travel the US  and Canada in a big American RV, so you can imagine we had lots to tell them.  

I hope all the facts and figures  are right, but Jim did rather imbibe a little after dinner, and neither of our memories are  that good……..
