On a recent visit to Spain, I was near enough to pop in a see “and district” club members Val and Geoff Turner, who have set up home near Ainsa in northern Spain.

While I was there I took the opportunity to present Geoff with his Life member’s award.

After seeing the view of the house - note the background! - and the view from the front, I don't think you need to ask why they went!!

Incidentally, Geoff says it's the first house he has owned which he can (legally-ish) drive past at over 100 MPH!

Val has promised a short piece for Acorn on life in Spain, for a future issue.
