I have to say this totally made my week. Getting this photo on WhatsApp of my Spanish friend Eduardo with my Japanese friend Tomoko, enjoying a glass of sherry together in Tokyo on the first day of the Feria de Abril.

I’ve mentioned Pilar & Pilar here before. Pilar (daughter) has been a dear friend for many years, and I’ve also had the pleasure of getting to know Pilar (mother). Usually over a delicious lunch that inevitably includes sherry, as both of these fabulous ladies are from Jerez. In fact, their family was in the sherry biz years ago. Well, this time was no exception. Fab food, wonderful wines, lots of great conversation (and lots of laughs). We even went up to the top of the Setas, which Pilar (daughter) had never seen before (!!). It was great spending an afternoon off in such splendid company. Gracias chicas! xx

Met another new Twitter pal last weekend. Olli @CoteDuPy was here last weekend with his sister after spending some time in Jerez, and so we made plans to meet up. And look what he brought me! Amontillado is my favourite “all purpose” sherry. It’s smoother than fino and you can pair it with so many things – really looking forward to trying this baby. From a bodega I haven’t visited (yet). Oh, and we’ve also made plans for a Twitter piss up meet up when I’m in London at the beginning of June, with a few of our mutual Twitter friends. LOVE Twitter…
