The BEST Spanish flan in Écija today! The caramel The BEST Spanish flan in Écija today! The caramel was incredible, taken right to the edge, so it had that wonderful, deep, rich flavour. I have a new goal to try and make it this good at home!
My favourite Spanish discovery so far - a plant th My favourite Spanish discovery so far - a plant that grows kittens ready to go! Such a sweet kitten here @cordobaecuestre_caballerizas as seen at @a.e.c.c.a Spanish Nationals. This one would make such a cute companion for @magicalmistermishkins - maybe he and his family can appearnin the next book! It is always so lovely to see cats and horses together.
Somewhere in Andalucia, on the road between Madrid Somewhere in Andalucia, on the road between Madrid and Spain. I am here for the Spanish National Arabian Horse Championships, but first, some sightseeing. I have always longed to go to Andalucia, and to be honest, I was a little disappointed that there wasn't a knight on a horse waiting to welcome me over the border...

I missed the supermoon as I was away, so I was thr I missed the supermoon as I was away, so I was thrilled to get this shot of the moon creeping up over the trees last night to see whether I was back in Norfolk. The answer is yes - but only until Tuesday. Having thought Aachen would be the last of my travels, this month is hectic. I am feeling lucky to be able to go and do all these things, but I am so grateful to be cuddling @magicalmistermishkins right now. When I can take photographs of the moon and have Mishkins by my side, I know that all is right in the world.
What else to pour tonight but a Sancerre in honour What else to pour tonight but a Sancerre in honour of the incredible Jilly Cooper. I was introduced to Jilly's work in my first year of university and Sancerre in my second year. For me, the two go hand in hand, and even though I am in Belgium tonight, I just had to find a bottle to have so I could raise a glass in her honour. Jilly, your work made me laugh, cry, and want to be a better writer. Sandstorm, now under the name @adelaide_halsey__author is in your vein. This is such a huge loss, and I hope you dance in the stars with all you have loved before. Sleep well, Monica will miss you.
