Hello and welcome to the January edition of Soltalk. I sincerely hope that this time next year things are looking less gloomy! As I write this, Tier 4 has just been introduced in the UK following the discovery of the new faster spreading type of Covid, the Channel tunnel has been temporarily closed and we still don’t have agreement on Brexit!

However, on a more positive note we are pleased to bring you your first Soltalk for 2021 – a year which I am sure is going to be a great improvement on 2020.

Are you reading this as a printed copy? Or are you one of our many online readers? If you own property in Spain but are based in another country please read our Law Talk article I’m sure you’ll find it interesting.

As usual we have a round up of national and local news, and a collection of the bizarre stories from further afield in our Jottings page plus all our other regular features.

We would like to wish a very Happy New Year to all our readers, advertisers and contributors, and thank you all for your continued support!

So here it is. Soltalk January. Enjoy!
