I came to Spain in January 1986 to make my life here. With the help of a guy who became my guide and advisor about living here. Barrie Nathan is still that man. I had spent my life in the hotel and restaurant business and despite my lack of Spanish at the time, I was determined to carry on with my profession in the hope that I could succeed in it. I didn’t do too badly, but if you want to know more, buy my book of recollections of life before Spain and since. Half My Life is available on Amazon or signed copies direct from me.
