Hi Lianne, I have friends in Iznajar and there's a superb (professional) photographer about twenty minutes from there... if you'd like me to put you in touch I'd be happy to. Just PM me.

We never collected the cuttings... mowed very regularly and just left them in situ - several years of doing it to positive effect. Googled to see what I could come up with to back this up - list is lengthy - http://www.google.fr/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=not+collecting+grass+cuttings&...

Thanks Richard - I tried all variants, am surprised I wasn't struck-out (or whatever!) Was odd that the fields onscreen has places for the IBAN and the BIC, then when I was presented with the error message, it claimed that the BIC SWIFT was incorrect. I know lack of precision here in France is one o...

Thanks very much Maurmc... I'm wondering if it's the problem of my online French system ... the Spanish format I have is: IBAN XX00 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 BIC is XXXX XX XX 000 SWIFT XXXXXX0X (where X are letters and 0 numbers) If you/anyone else could confirm that's the correct format, that'd be ...

France/Spain IBAN/BIC/SWIFT references...

Be grateful of some help with resolving a bank transfer I need to effect from my French account to a friend's Spanish one. Tried it online and came back with the error that the BIC SWIFT was incorrect. Yet there was only a field marked for the BIC. Made several attempts at adding the refs that I've ...

Reading through this topic it seems that most people have an accountant to do their book keeping and tax returns. Is this the general consensus? or does anyone do it themselves? How much can I expect to pay roughly per year for an accountant? I would have one property 2 bed in the UK, which I am ho...

Have always used Brico Depot's Renaulac paint here - incredibly thick (can dilute with water or white paint up to 100% with no loss of coverage!) Colours from chart mix up very accurately (so far!)
