some like it hot

Home sweet home.
After three weeks of lolling in the swimming pool and sun (yes! sun!) and putting my [very bad] spanish speaking skills to practice, it feels a little odd to be back in my room, munching and popcorn and typing this wheras a few hours ago I was eating tapas. Lots of tapas. As well as paella, parmier biscuits and warm chorus dipped in lovely cafe con leches. I'm craving them already. I guess I didn't waiste all my time - some of my precious spanish hours were spend going to a midnight fiesta, watching madesgar 2 in spanish in a park and going shopping, well you could call it shopping but the only shops around are ... hmm ... for slightly older people. My lazier days were suplied by countless magazines (i.e. teen vouge, elle, instyle, two issues of look and glamour) as well as Sylvia's Plaths, the bell jar, slightly disturbing but amazing non the less.

The holiday blues have already got to me but not for much longer as its my birthday on sunday!
Yes, my BIRTHDAY!

um heres a few pictures (out of the 70) that I took in spain:




Thankyou all for the great comments - I will get round to visiting your blogs but coming home to 330 emails, it may take me a while to get slightly organized!

  8. Oh, I've just fallen in love with your blog. You post the loveliest pictures - and your wardrobe is divine.

    Happy Birthday! I'm so glad you had a lovely vacation. Isn't The Bell Jar marvelous? I read it a few months ago myself and adored every moment of it. :)

  12. A day late, but happy birthday!!
    Also, thank you for the lovely comment :) I'm not really very good with the camera at all, I'm a complete novice, I only really started to get into photography this summer. And no need to be jealous of the weather, all the water that the sky holds seems to be pouring down outside as I'm typing this!

  13. Wow, you only started this blog in May, and already you have many comments. (:
    congratulations.
    Spain is a wonderful country, my mother was born there, and she lives in the outskirts of Madrid. It was gorgeous going to all those museums and such.
    Hope you have a lovely week!
