These three were making it very difficult to get out of bed yesterday. A lovely start to a fabulous birthday. More on the Mystery Birthday Day Trip later…

A few scenes from yesterday’s “unbirthday”. I met my friend Carl for a quick bite at lunchtime, which somehow segued into a birthday eve Tapeo Extremo. So I am feeling ALL of 59 this morning (and then some) but have to get ready and leave soon for a Mystery Birthday Day Trip. Stay tuned…

Here is the birthday boy having a post-brekky snooze this morning. He was found starving in a gutter with his two siblings, and now it’s nothing but regular meals, cosy comfort and lots of cuddles. We are both pretty lucky, I reckon.
Happy birthday my big lovable orange galoot!

I first met Ana & Teresa of @FlavoursofSpain a year ago when they were doing food & wine research near Sevilla. They really only had a few hours here before catching their plane home to the UK, but that was time enough to meet up for a nice lunch at La Azotea.
This week they are back – on holiday this time – to celebrate Teresa’s sister’s 30th birthday and I was delighted to be invited along to be a part of the festivities. We did an impromptu two-stop tapeo, going first to La Pepona and then finishing the evening at Eslava. As you can see, we ate very well (and this wasn’t even all of it!) including finishing off with Eslava’s amazing MANCHEGO ICECREAM. Wow. But Sixto had a special treat up his sleeve, and came out a bit later with a lovely creamy cake and candle.
As you can see, a wonderful time was had by all, and I hope I’ve convinced the girls that they need to come down to Sevilla more often.
