Rick Parfitt to move his family back home

RICK PARFITT is moving back to the UK for the sake of his baby twins.

The Status Quo QUO star's wife, Lindsay, gave birth to Lily and Tommy last May (08), and the couple have been raising them at their villa in the Spanish countryside.

But Parfitt admitted that they have faced numerous difficulties having young children in such a remote area, so they have decided to sell the luxury property and move back to Britain.

The couple also plans to buy a holiday home in Spain close to their current abode so they can spend vacations in the sun.

Parfitt said: "Somehow you just miss old England. The villa here (in Spain) is currently on the market and we want to split our time between Spain and the U.K. The idea is to downsize to a villa closer to the coast and buy a country home in England.

"The kids have had a lovely peaceful start here with pure air and no noise, but now it's time to move them closer to civilisation and a variety of people.

"Also it's just too hot for them to leave the house in the Spanish summer."
