One of my favourite photos with two of my favourite people… the 3 horsewomen of the aCOPAlypse (geddit?) taken in Jerez after several copas of jerez.

A few years ago I briefly met Andy Hayler @wyahaw at a Foodie Hub event in London. I had already been following him on Twitter because he is a very interesting guy, having eaten at EVERY 3 Michelin star restaurant in the world (as of 2016). The next challenge is to complete that same feat this year. Hence his visit to Andalucía to dine at Ángel León’s Aponiente in El Puerto de Santa María.
Happily he and his wife Stella decided to also spend a few days in Sevilla and we got to meet up a couple of times. First for a spontaneous “tapas tour” and then for a lovely lunch at Cañabota. Both times we ate and drank very well, and it was just so fun spending time with kindred spirits. Hope to see them again, perhaps in London.

The Feria de Jerez starts this weekend and this is a super happy memory from the Feria in 2013, when I met up with my lovely friend José Pizarro @jose_pizarro. Happy days. #TBT #throwbackthursday

Actually, my blogiversary was yesterday, but I completely forgot about it. Anyhoo… wow, 12 whole years of boring people silly! 😛
When I put up my first ever blog post all those years ago I had no idea that it would lead to meeting so many wonderful people. It also got me through the worst of times during the cancer ops and treatment and, more positively, led to starting the Sevilla Tapas blog, which then became my new biz once I got back to work.
Publishing a daily post was a habit I started during chemo to give me some focus, and I’ve kept it up ever since. Some days something interesting does happen, but mostly it’s just a scrapbook of my day to day life. So no, I won’t feel hurt if you unsubscribe. 😉
But for those of you who stick around, it really is great having you here and I hope to share many more anniversaries with you.

TBT – today I found out that my dear friend Craig (aka zoomer) is going through a difficult time. And I found this photo taken of us here in Sevilla ten years ago, when he last visited. Wishing you the best amigo mio – let me know if I can help. I can still feel those wonderful bear hugs. #throwbackthursday
