ana

… this time with little Ms O, aka Sara (she’s the white heart face on the left). It had been far too long since Ana & Simon were here (back in 2018) and so much has happened since then, both in a personal and global way, for all of us. So I was delighted when Ana got in touch a while back saying they were planning a few days here in Sevilla at the end of October. Not only would I get to meet their daughter for the first time, but also Ana’s sister Renata, husband Pedro and son Antonio (white heart face upper right), plus family friend Elaine who was here visiting from Malaysia. We started off with a sherry tasting on the first evening, and the next day, after Renata and family arrived, we had a full on tapas tour. Gosh it was fun, and so great to catch up and reconnect. Now that Ana and Simon have a place on the Costa del Sol I’m hoping we won’t have to wait another four years to get together.

marriage prison

I mean… this photo says it all. I’m not sure if this was an actual wedding photo shoot or if it was intended as some sort of gallows humour (see winch) re: marriage. The bars, the dead flowers, that winch on the wall, grey foreboding sky, not to mention the not very happy looking couple. I guess we’ll never know.

haloween 2022

When I first moved here (1993) the only reference you’d see to Hallowe’en was in Marks & Spencer. Nowadays we have… this. Oh, and they’re animated too. Sevilla gets more like just one big tourist attraction every day.

sevilla, sevilla tapas tours

jason dana andrew

Back in 2013 Jason from Austin Texas joined one of my tapas tours as a solo traveller and had a wonderful time. Then I got an email from him this spring saying “it’s your friend Jason!” telling me he was coming back to Sevilla with his daughter and son-in-law and we started planning a private tapas tour for them, which happened last night. It was a lovely evening and, as they are still here for a few days, I am sure I will be hearing back from them. Love when this happens, seeing people again and knowing they enjoyed their time with me so much they want to meet up again.

An aside, just to make the evening even more special, on my way home two young guys zipped past me on electric scooters and suddenly one yelled out “Viva Sevilla Tapas!”. I didn’t even see their faces, but I assume they were waiters heading home after a bar shift. Anyhow, made me smile.
