30 years ago today… I was 30! Found these pics today of my 30th birthday party in Toronto, with my brothers Steve and Joe. If anyone had told me then I’d end up being the Queen of Tapas in Sevilla I’d never have believed them. I still can’t believe I’m 60 years old! What??
Time to open some cava…

So no more fairy lights in the orange trees… well, until next December anyhow. The Three Kings came last night and today (Epiphany / Twelfth Night) marks the end of the holiday season. But it is also BIRTHDAY EVE! And boy am I ever excited. 🙂
Tomorrow there will be cava (of course) and a special lunch has been planned (more on that later), then who knows? Very likely a nice late afternoon walk and perhaps meeting up with friends for a drink in the evening. It’ll be quite low-key and lovely. And I will be 60. Wow!

A quiet New Year’s Eve dinner at home. Loving the new oven. Roasted a couple of tiny lamb legs and am getting better at roasties too. But the most exciting (and delicious) part of the evening was making gambas al ajillo at home for the very first time. See vid below…

Later on watched the Madrid ball drop in Puerta del Sol on TV, raised a glass to the new year, and then headed to bed. How was your evening?

Had to finally start doubling up (using both the quilt and the duvet). Cats love it.
