12 Things You Only Get in Spain

1. Tons of presents.

2. Beaches, complimentary heair cuts and weather good enough to strip down.

3. Quality time with Titi Isa.

4. Cute new babies.

5. Chill time for everybody.

6. Cheeky princesses.

7. Yummy curly mummies.

8. Correspondingly posh grandparents.


9. In short, Spanish weddings... which Tara thinks preciously little of...

10. Sweeties for breakfast.

11. Steady and vast supplies of sweeties for everyone at "Lo de la Loli".

12. Fat. Way too many sweeties.

(But maybe you can at least partially also blame the fact that new babies can also be had outside of Spain.)

Update

Spot the new teddy. And the cast. Also featured, in the far background, the front door that slammed on, and caught her little fingers (same hand) two days later (lots of screaming and crying, no serious damage, somehow). Not featured: The bee Tara decided to pick up in between (lots of shouting but did not get stung, somehow), and the battered neighbour that woke us all at 2pm Sat night so we (anyone) could call the police for her (kind of ruined the night). All in all an eventful weekend that could have been a lot worse, actually.

We're pretending Tara didn't fall off a little wall in the garden earlier, and that I'm not still thinking about x rays due to restricted useage of arm. Instead, "We're having a lovely time aren't we mummy."

Family weddings are scary stuff, but thank heavens for corner shops of just the right kind!
