Sounds a bit Ian Fleming-y, yes? But that’s me right now. Olive green –with envy. Why? Because two of my dearest friends have just moved to Spain. Not to just anywhere in Spain, either. No, they have relocated to southern Spain– to Andalusia, which you who know me well will recognize as the number [...] Or: I don’t care how many you said you wanted. 192 is enough for anybody!
