Easter day

 Esperaza was graced by a visit from Les Hermits - young people who wear white make-up and blacken one eye, following a brass band or two round the cafes, extracting money from anyone who can't get away to feed their drinking. This festival has its roots in antiquity.

We were on a different mission today; celebrating the second year of the arrival of Ryan and Alicia in our lives. Decided to head for Gayda where the view of the mountains is amazing. Unless its pouring with rain:)

 Nonetheless, the food is fantastic. Our first visit there and we were impressed - lobster croquettes with oyster and stuff, lamb with Egyptian garlic and stuff, chocolate and rhubarb and strawberries and the others had foie gras in vanilla and chocolate and brandy and oh dear, its exhausting. Time for a lie down. Life is good and Ryan and Alicia have made it much much better. Thanks guys xxx
