Constructive criticism

Our hearts sank this morning when we spotted surveyors with a theodolite measuring up the plot right next to our building, underneath the kitchen window. They're already planning to build just behind there, along the road running between our flat and Anja's.

It therefore looks as if we'll be surrounded by construction soon, and will probably lose some or most of our lovely kitchen view :((((( Luckily our main view out to sea is pretty much guaranteed safe. And of course it'll be a while yet before the kitchen view is impeded, maybe years, and who knows where we'll be by then. Maybe we should sell up now and move out of the village. There seems to be a concerted effort to build on every square cm of land...

If they go ahead, the two new buildings will destroy significant numbers of beautiful trees, the two gardens have some of the tallest trees in the built-up area, including various pines, plus of course the doughty agave, which is still surviving despite lots of heavy winds in recent weeks.

See the photos below.
