angels, christmas, neighbours

In case you’ve never seen an angel before…this is Isabel.

If you haven’t read the story about Isabel’s wonderful generosity and how she totally saved my holiday in Málaga last weekend, you can find it here. Someone asked if I had offered to pay her for taking me to the train station, but I knew she would have never accepted money and so I got her this lovely box of Belgian chocolates while I was away. And it was hard enough getting her to accept those! She kept waving them away and telling me not to be “tonta”. And when I asked if I could take her photo and told her that she was already “famosa” on my blog, she turned to the shop assistant and said, “I just did the tiniest of favours for this girl and she’s making such a big fuss over it!”

The tinest of favours. Yeah right. She only saved my holiday and renewed my faith in human kindness with her very spontaneous act of generosity.  No big deal.

homemade snowglobes

christmas, homemade, snowglobes

I’m not one for souvenirs but ever since I went to Barcelona for my fiftieth birthday I’ve been collecting snowglobes of the places I visit. I think they are both tacky and charming, and they look very cute lined up on my bookcase. So far I have snowglobes from Barcelona, Córdoba, Cádiz, Tavira, Lisbon and a couple from Seville. Couldn’t find any in Tangier, which wasn’t really surprising, but I also couldn’t find any in Málaga or Gibraltar that weren’t, well, way beyond tacky and not at all charming.

It never occurred to me to make my own snowglobes – what a great idea!

la-feria

Yesterday was the last day of Feria (the April Fair). I didn’t get to go during the week because of feeling worn out by the chemo, but Nog and I walked over on Friday afternoon and I took a few photos. This little cutie was talking to her sister and as soon as she saw me pointing the camera at her she struck a pose. Too adorable.

You can see more photos over at azahar’s Sevilla.
