sunny tuesday

It’s that time of year when we (hopefully) get enough rain throughout the winter months to see us through the long hot dry spell that is May to October in Sevilla. Trust me, drought summers here are not fun. But this makes going out even trickier (for me) at the moment as I am still limiting myself to once or twice a week and so NOW those days also have to fall on a non-rainy one. But this day was perfect. Lovely and sunny and still warm enough midday to only need a light jacket and the oranges are reaching their peak. Love Sevilla ❤

vermut invoke gods

Most of you have “met” my lovely friend Esteban of @vermuteriasyosoytupadre fame here on the blog. So I thought I would put this up for those of you residing in Spain who either love vermouth or would like to try some for the first time this Christmas. Esteban has invoked the wine gods with this limited edition bottling of his white and red vermouths, made from a base of sherry wines (finos and manzanillas pasadas) and his family recipe of herbs and botanicals. It would make a great Christmas present, even if it’s just for you. Contact info is in the photo below.

tree

Here it is… my first Christmas tree in over 28 years. Well, as I told you yesterday, it’s not really mine. Although this is my fourth Christmas in this Casa Az it’s the first time my downstairs neighbour has put up a little tree in the entrance, and I love it. I’ve been told it’s not “finished” yet and am intrigued to see what will end up on it next. Maybe I should add some tinsel?

UPDATE: As you can see, more decs have been added as promised though still not sure if this means it is “finished”. Also noticed that the ornaments still have price tags attached. Ummm…
