The
quickest round up begins with a Tuesday night in Northwest London – I took my
mum to her first Barnet game at The Hive. When Blackpool got relegated, my dad
said it was the one game he’d want to go to. Obviously he couldn’t be there, so
it was only right me and mum went. The game finished 1-1 – and I’ve honestly
never celebrated an equaliser so much. I’m not sure if my mum had a good time,
but it was an evening out at least!
Yep,
another dinner pic – and I’ve got my mum and brother eating meals from the Lean
in 15 books! The most recent recipe I tried was the chilli prawn tagliatelle,
which was absolutely lush. I don’t really eat white pasta, but I didn’t find
this heavy at all. I would definitely make it again – maybe using linguine or
vermicelli. It went down a treat with mum too.
And
then to the exciting part – I’ve just come back from holiday! I had a week at
my auntie and uncle’s, in Madrid and it was so lush! We also drove to La Rioja
and spent two nights at this amazing hotel, which was also a bodega. I am going
to be writing a few posts, explaining what we got up to, as well as a few
restaurant reviews, but it’s safe to say, I ate and drank like a queen. When we
returned from La Rioja, the fiestas started. Although we missed the fireworks
and bull runs, I drank plenty of mojito, danced in the street and had a great
time! We went into Madrid city centre twice – visiting the Prado Museum and the
Plaza de Cibeles. We also had a lovely Thai meal out. While it’s back to
reality now, at least we had a Bank Holiday weekend to enjoy – and I did!
What have you been up to lately?
