Gerald had bought into the Dream. He had been sold a fantasy for what appeared a bargain. With a small investment he could live the very dream that had been pumped out of the unpleasant orifices of British media since the mid 1990's. And one guy called Gerald had not been immune to such pumping , who indeed had been? Who would not want to swap their 2 up/ 2 down for a ramshackle villa on the med.coast? Who would not want to exchange 9 months of cloud and drizzle for 9 months of sun and warmth? Who would not want to swap a luke-warm mug of Sainsubury's instant freeze-dried for a steaming glass of Cafe con leche? Find out whether the move from the country to the town enabled Gerald to track down his dream, or whether the dream would be better off back there, beneath the olive tree.
