And we're always here to help when we can. We're actually just across the Bocaina Straits in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote... but as I've been over to Fuerteventura so often... and as most experiences apply in any other Canaries - we thought we'd set this up. What part of the Island are you moving to hon? Then hopefully we can help with some school info for you. Tell your son he's very wise... but shouldn't he be outside getting scabby knees? :o.) Old before his time that one. Take care - and keep in touch hon! Elle xx Hi Janette – no problem with the prompt response. And we’re always here to help when we can.

Tell your son he’s very wise… but shouldn’t he be outside getting scabby knees? :o .) Old before his time that one.

Take care – and keep in touch hon!

I had such a wonderful restful sleep last night knowing that I had someone to communicate with, who knows how it feels moving to fuerteventura. I have a gut feeling that you are a kindred spirit your kind Words have been so encouraging and powerful in our lives. In your experience of schools on the island which ones would you recommend? Our little boys are so close as brothers, they have lived a sheltered lives going to school weekdays and at weekends we take them to the caravan in callander , Scotland, we bike ride, hillwalk the outdoors lifestyle is for us! Unfortunatley society in uk has changed dramaticaly into a culture were children and families are second place. This one of the main reasons that we want to move on. Wisdom from a 11 year old.....my son said to me mum yesterday is histoy , tomorrow is a mystery and today is the present it is a present from God. Goodnight Janette & Jim & boys ( where there is a will there is a way ) Good evening Elle,

We really hope it helps people just like yourself! Sounds like your plans are already in motion then eh?! Excellñent! The one piece of advice that i would say is vitally important... is to ensure that you have enough funds to help you ride the quiet patch for a while. Perhaps rent before you buy? Then you can be sure you're definitely in the right part of the world. That's what we did - and we're very pleased that we did so! Do keep in touch - and feel free to fire over any questions you may have! We also have a good bunch of people watching this site, who are also helping us with advice and content to bring to you. We would also love it if you would consider keeping a bit of a diary of how it all goes... that we can pop into here. Sometimes... reading someone else's experiences can make all the difference to someone who may be having doubts. Kindest regards from us both - and our best wishes for your new future! Elle & Alan.

My husband surprised us with a christmas holiday to Fuerteventura, one of many over the years, While we were on holiday it felt so peaceful and it felt like we had come home again, the people are so friendly and open. We have to little boys aged 11 and 7 years old. I am a Aromatherapist with various other therapies that I practice. My husband in management, transport logistics! We are in the mist of revamping and selling our house in Balloch Scotland! and plan to move in the next few months,any advice you can give us would be very welcome. Your comments and are very helpful are very much appreciated. Kind Regards Janette Hi there,
