+ More about Juliet Maric Capeling We bought our house when I was serving as British Consul for the Foreign Office in Alicante. We loved it so much that we decided to keep it when we returned to London. It's such a beautiful house that it is a shame for it to be empty and so we rent it out to fill it with noise and laughter, the way it's meant to be.
