anniversary lunch… at 8.00 pm to be exact, I arrived in Sevilla after a long hot drive from Salamanca (with two cats in tow) and the rest, as they say, is history. So today, after taking care of the usual morning work stuff, I met up with my friend Jeanine (we’ve been trying to have lunch together SINCE JUNE) to celebrate. As always with Jeanine we both start talking at once and don’t stop until it’s time to go home again. I love this feisty smart lady, and enjoy spending time with her whenever I can. So I am very happy that we got together for my anniversary. Hasta soon! xx

That’s Richard @lucidcontent on the right, with his friend Neil. I’ve “known” Richard on Instagram for a couple of years now, the connection between us being his best friends David & Julie, who came out with me on a tapas tour a couple of years ago. Anyhow, Richard was passing through town this week and we got a chance to meet up in person. A very nice evening!

I first met Jason @cortadoingles a couple of years ago when he was living in Granada. Now Jason and his wife Louise (and their new pup Grace) live in an eensy village in Almería. This weekend Jason had a short “big city escape” to Sevilla and it was great to catch up again, as well as take him on an impromptu lunchtime tapeo, which included some unexpected percebes at Bodeguita Romero. Looking forward to seeing both Jason & Louise in Sevilla again soon.

emilyMeet Emily! The newest member of my fabulous We Love Tapas team. I’ve known about Emily for quite some time as she is good friends with a few other good friends of mine. Awhile back she was recommended as a possible guide for WLT, but at the time there were no openings. Lately a new position has become available and, although I have received several CVs, I wasn’t “feeling” the applicants, if you know what I mean. Then my friend Juan reminded me about Emily and I knew from our first meeting that she would be a perfect match. It also fits with the way the original WLT team came together, very organically, with one connection leading to another. Just like this time. We are all very pleased to have Emily with us.

sarahToday I got to meet up again with Sarah, who is back in Sevilla for a short visit. We were housemates back in 2004 but haven’t seen each other since then. So this afternoon we met up for a lunchtime tapeo and it was LOVELY. It was like we’d just seen each other yesterday. Non-stop chat, lots of nice food and wine… and rediscovering how much we still have in common. So nice.
