And they're off!

It was a while ago when my husband casually mentioned Asturias. He'd seen it on a culinary programme whilst working overseas (there's always a link to food somewhere!).
'Where?' I said, 'Never heard of it!'. 
So I started looking...
I found the most amazing pictures of little fishing villages, deserted beaches and snow capped mountains. The fact that the region is a massive producer of cider (cidre as they know it) and stinky blue cheese meant I had to visit! 
Before I knew it I was looking at properties to buy. There was a wide and varied choice, ranging from huge colonial style villas to run down piles of stones that vaguely resembled somewhere to live. 
Then I found 'the one'. A beautiful farmhouse, in the mountains but still only a stones throw from the sea, set in 4 acres and a permaculture garden too. Did I mention there was also ducks, chickens and geese!
And so our journey begins...
