Who the hell are we?

A couple of Australians and a furious cat named Ted

In January 2023 we moved from Tasmania, Australia, to Spain with two suitcases and our cat, Ted. (Pademelania the pademelon stayed behind.)

After a year an a half up north in San Sebastián we took the plunge to the deep south and settled in Jerez, home of flamenco and sherry, a veritable kingdom of horses, and a lifestyle best described as heaven on a stick with a yellowish tinge.

We’re here on a non-lucrative visa, which means that for our first five years in Spain we’re not allowed to work. So we eat, we drink, we blog, and at one point we buy a house. We’re staying for good.

You gonna pop in for a visit?
