Absolutely sick to death of this weather. It’s currently sheeting it down in mid July. The house is dark and dingy because there’s no sunlight. I just don’t think we can cope.

we’re in the middle of a renovation so couldn’t sell the house for what we paid for it but we’re both feeling desperate just to get out of this country!!

Research properly before doing anything.
we know people who emigrated to Greece and are now running aircon all day due to the heat for months on end.
add in drought …

Right, time for a plan.

Do you have EU member state passports?

If not, can you get visas to live in Spain?

What will your income be and from what source?

No passports but we have jobs that could technically transfer there (we work for the same global company and it has an office in Barcelona, so we’d be based there - still no idea if work would agree to this tho! My team are all here :( )

Have you an EU passport? What do you plan to do for income?

It’s not that simple to up sticks and move to sunny Spain, not since Brexit. Book a cheap and cheerful all inclusive on the Costa Dorada instead.

I'd prefer rain to drought so I wouldn't move to Spain but I know what you mean. I'm usually okay with the British northern summer but two years in a row of endless rain is getting me down. I live in a dark mid terrace and it's just so dark and dull, I have all the lights on and the heating!
