became a silk screen printer, and later
a poster writer. Then, looking for a
more remunerative and satisfying
prospect I trained as an art teacher,
a career which took me to the green
fields and woods of Hertfordshire.
My next brush with Spain came
in 1980 when, looking for an escape
route in the school holidays, my wife,
Jean, and I bought an apartment near
the beach in Calpe.
