Fiesta, family and fun

This last weekend has been a bit of a hectic one. Last Thursday Andrew and Jane arrived for the weekend's break, which we timed to coincide with our 'Tres tombs' fiesta  on the Friday celebrating our town's patron saint's day - St Anthony Abbat- who was a bit of an animal lover so the day is celebrated by animals getting blessings in church and a parade of the band biggest of what horse husbandry has to offer. Happily it was a lovely sunny day and we enjoyed ourselves in the sunshine. 

As is always the case with visitors it was a bit of a foodie time too. Thursday evening we had dinner in Gilda's after I finished work. Friday lunch was in Beverly Hills, with dinner chez TulStig. Saturday we snacked for lunch and I cooked Cauliflower & Broccoli Cheese with Spinach and Roast Potatoes for dinner, with Trifle for pudding. Sunday we had snacks again, down on the seafront, then A curry made by yours truly for dinner. Tony took over the kitchen duties on Monday preparing a delicious pumpkin soup for lunch and jacket potatoes and a thick stew for dinner. Plus a few assorted treats thrown in I think we all ate very well! 

On Saturday we had a trip out in the rain down to Cambrills and Salou which was kind of a wash out due to the poor weather.  Sunday was a glorious day so we spent the morning up the Lottie digging and the had the evening in again. Monday we popped into Sitges for a nose around, then I was back to work in the evening so Andrew and Jane had a wander round VnG. 

This morning I dropped them off, rather early, at the airport in BCN for their return journey to Gatwick and home. All in all a fun but little bit tiring weekend.
