It's screaming out for a couple of mothers pride 'outsiders' with plenty of Lurpak. That would make a fine apres bevy snack  :lol:

Love a bit of Spanish food, not much beats a table of tapas or a good paella, pronounced pie Ella of course, can't quite bring myself to affect a Spanish accent

Christmas in Spain is quite something. one year we took the landrover to the picos, arriving on xmas eve. we were really disappointed; it was deathly quiet, everything closed up. what we didn't realise at that point was that xmas eve is the really special occasion for Spanish families, so everyone was tucked up at home with their nearest and dearest. xmas day, WOW!! :shock: everything kicked off big-style; non-stop feasting, booze, partying. we'd been out ski touring during the day, wondering what sort of a morgue we'd run into when we got back. we needn't have worried; I think we finally got into bed after dawn on boxing day having made a lot of new friends.... :lol: and the food is so good!
