horse of the day

This is for Beth…
Honestly, this guy looked way more magnificent than I was able to capture. Kind of like when I used to try taking photos of Azar – the ALL BLACK thing kind of works against catching all the gorgeous details. But he was gorgeous.
The other horse of the day that I missed was an amazing creamy white albino with a stunningly beautiful woman riding him – they went by in a flash and I looked everywhere to try and find them again to no avail.
Am now home with Feria Feet and need to take them to bed… xx
feria!
15 Monday Apr 2013
Sevilla’s massive spring fair – Feria de Abril – begins tonight at midnight when they turn on the thousands of lights on the specially built gateway (there’s a different design each year). I’ll be going tomorrow afternoon to attend the awards ceremony for the Toro Tapas competition. Won’t be wearing a flamenco dress though. Aren’t these great? Twelve designers came up with a unique design in red for a fashion event called Pasión Flamenca that I happened upon last week. Always look in open doorways…
a day off

So this is what I did on Friday! It was supposed to be a day off but my friend Fiona (aka Scribbler in Seville) asked if I was going to this very cool wine tasting event, which led to us both going there and then going for tapas afterwards, followed by a visit to a pop-up store that was taking place in a lovely boutique hotel, which included having rooftop drinks. After that I met up with Peter and as it was such a beautiful warm evening we just strolled around, eventually stopping for more tapas. I think I do less on working days! How do you like to spend days off?

gourmet food tours

My latest project! I’ve been asked by a luxury tour group to plan a few new “products” for them, based around gourmet food and wine tours in various cities in Andalucía. Excited? You bet! The main problem I’m having at the moment is narrowing the focus to keep the tours intimate and very special. It’ll definitely be a new experience for me, travelling with clients for a few days and keeping them well-fed and happy. Somehow I think I’ll be very good at that. Anyhow, watch this space!
