Chip Buttie! What you shout after just 6 weeks and you have gone back to your roots and on the chip butties, or as you might say at least for one of us it might have been a vindaloo, but No we haven’t gone English just yet, not that a chip buttie was one of my things but I know for many it’s an absolute delight. Wed 10/2/16: Return from carnival and we had in our … [Read more...] about Chip Buttie!
Little Urchin!
Little Urchin! And there they were everywhere the dreaded sea urchin in the busy carnival streets of Cadiz. Not at all where I was expecting to see these delicacies and certainly not on the street corners alongside the candy floss and bucket loads of sweets that seem to accompany this amazing annual carnival. This was a ‘not to be missed’ carnival we were told by some, … [Read more...] about Little Urchin!
Daddy or Chips
As the advert asked – well on Tuesday of this week we were certainly chipped or patatas out! Mon 1/2/16: And a big hooray for those finishing ‘dry’ January, not for me this year but congrats to those who did it or nearly did (H).

Another Tapa Por Favor
Another Tapa Por Favor Mon 18/1/16: First day at Spanish school so a bit nerve racking really. Neither of us has paid much attention as of late on the learning front. School started with us fortunately being 2 2 1 i.e David and I with our teacher, a result of us but not necessarily so for her. Break came for us a bit later than we might have hoped- just past 10 would have … [Read more...] about Another Tapa Por Favor
A Small Bite
Thurs 14/1/16: (I am now reverting to the date rather than ‘Day number whatever’ as I have lost track already of which day we are on and sometimes due to ‘commitments’ like getting out and about seeing Spain the food blog and indeed other blogs aren’t done each day. Plus also to do all these wonderful 21st century things we need a good internet connection which we don’t always … [Read more...] about A Small Bite
Beautiful South
After a baptism of fire on the motorhome front the morning came thankfully and we and NiKi were all in one piece. After our late Sunday lunch we headed back to the carpark and again bedded in for the night with the aid of a nice bottle of vino, only for the winds and rains to reach storm level, the van was rocking and rolling almost worse than the boat, but on the boat we … [Read more...] about Beautiful South
