This time, Richard and Maria embark on a new adventure, leaving behind their serene home in the River Lot region of France to head south into Spain. The journey is a special one, as they are celebrating Richard’s birthday in the beautiful coastal town of Roses. Situated just a four-hour drive across the border, Roses, known for its rich history and stunning Mediterranean coastline, makes for the perfect destination.
Their trip begins under overcast skies, with rain in the forecast that thankfully never comes. The cooler weather turns out to be a blessing, allowing Richard and Maria to take their dog, Albie, on longer coastal walks without the heat being too intense. As they stroll along the scenic coastline, they soak in the peaceful atmosphere, with the soft grey sky casting a calming light over the sea and the rugged landscape.
Roses is a charming fishing town nestled along Spain’s famous Costa Brava, known for its blend of natural beauty and historical charm. The couple explores the town’s old quarter, where narrow cobbled streets and centuries-old buildings transport them back in time. They visit several local restaurants, sampling the fresh seafood for which the town is famous, and enjoying the laid-back Spanish lifestyle.
During lunch, Richard and Maria take a moment to reflect on the quirky nature of YouTube. As they sit in one of Roses’ cozy outdoor cafes, they discuss how the platform has become a place where people will watch just about anything, often finding entertainment in the most unexpected places. They bring up another YouTube couple they follow, Anicia and her partner Philippe, who run the channel “Domaine Sauvage.” One particular episode had Richard and Maria glued to their screen—Philippe’s dumper truck got stuck in the mud, and when he tried to use his digger to free it, the digger lost a track! What started as a routine task turned into a hilarious chain of events, proving that even the most mundane moments can be turned into compelling content. The couple can’t help but laugh at the unpredictability of it all.
As the overcast day comes to an end, the anticipation builds for the next day—Richard’s birthday. They wake up to a stunning change in the weather. The clouds have disappeared, revealing bright blue skies and warm sunshine. It’s the perfect October day in Spain, and Roses, with its Mediterranean breeze, feels like paradise. The couple enjoy the perfect blend of relaxation and celebration as they make the most of the sun-soaked day.
During the birthday festivities, Richard surprises Maria with a revelation. As they sit together overlooking the sparkling waters of the Costa Brava, Richard admits that he has been quietly harboring a secret desire—he’s been thinking about moving to Spain. The warmth, the culture, the lifestyle, and the stunning landscapes have all always won him over. While it’s just a passing thought for now, Richard can’t help but dream about what life might be like in this beautiful part of the world. The idea lingers in the air, adding an extra layer of excitement to their trip.

Richard and Maria’s journey from the River Lot to Roses is more than just a birthday celebration—it’s a time of reflection, laughter, and maybe even the beginning of a new chapter. Will Richard’s dream of moving to Spain take root? Only time will tell, but for now, the couple is simply enjoying every moment of their time in the sun-soaked paradise that is Roses.
