Catch up
I haven’t posted anything for a few weeks, so a catch-up is long overdue. We had a wonderful week with Edmund over Easter. The weather was truly awful (by Barcelona standards) and it rained every single day, but that didn’t dampen our spirits! We paid a visit to the Natural History museum - Edmund absolutely loved looking at all the specimens including the biggest crab that I’ve ever seen. He has also now developed a keen interest in hobbits, and we’ve got some figures from Games workshop to paint together. He has also become the Bop-It champion in the house. We had a lot of fun playing games, and a visit to Cirque du Soleil on his last night, which he absolutely loved. He couldn’t stop laughing at the clowns. The weather in summer will be a lot better, so next time we can head for some of the outdoor fun including some of the wildlife parks.
We spent the following week in London doing up the flat ready for renting out again and it was wonderful to catch up with friends Esther and Mark, Miguel and Gareth, Binta and baby Kenza. Isabel has now become a master plasterer (pladurista) and of course we had the mandatory dinners at Monty’s and Maxim’s in Northfield Avenue. The weather in London was a little better than in Barcelona, but we’re back to normality now and the sunny spring days and balmy evenings have arrived in BCN.
The flat renovation is coming on more slowly than we had hoped, but we expect to be able to move in on 27 April - we can’t wait!
