It was time to turn on the heat this week and get out the winter duvet, though the days are still very sunny and pleasant. Loved finding this fireplace too, not far from home. How’s things where you are?

under the palace
26 Thursday Nov 2015
Last weekend I got to do something very special, which was to visit the recently excavated sub-basement under one of the Alcázar palaces. You can read more about it on the Sevilla blog: Alcázar Underground.

Just to say how goddam lucky I am to be working with these three amazing young women. They are smart, intelligent, hard-working, dedicated…
This is after our sherry class last Sunday. All of them talking more about wines, our tours, new ideas. Love them.

When my fabulous We Love Tapas team showed an interest in learning more about sherry I was thrilled to oblige, and of course we did it in proper WLT style. I’ll write more about it soon on the WLT blog, but for now here is a collage of what we ate and drank. Five sherries from five different bodegas and perfectly paired dishes with each wine. And we prepared all the food ourselves, other than the amazing deep dark flourless chocolate cake by Gollerias. It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Meet Mr & Mrs O (aka Ana and Simon O’Reilly). I’ve been Twitter pals with Ana @MrsOAroundTheWorld for ages and have enviously watched her post gorgeous travel pics on Twitter and Instagram. And finally, after twenty years, she returned to Sevilla for a weekend getaway to celebrate Simon’s birthday. They flew in with two friends on Friday evening and I was there to meet them at their hotel and whisk them off for a seriously fun (and delicious) tapeo. What can I say? I even ended up drinking gin cocktails! And rolled home some time after 2 am…
So once again the ol’ Twitter magic has brought more new and interesting people into my life. LOVE Twitter.
