Barcelona Part 2

Well I was looking through my photo's from Barcelona again and decided to do another post on it. I took so many photo's I wanted to share some more with you. Firstly I am not a fan of flying at all but I did manage to take this picture of the sun setting while above the clouds.

 

I also had lot's of photo's of food so here is a picture of the first of many Paella's I had while there.



 

We also found that you could not get a small drink in Barcelona. They all came in fishbowl size. There was hardly enough room on the table for our food!

 

 

Here is another picture from the food market Mercado de La Boqueria. It was completely rammed with fresh food and some of it was still alive!

 

  

Here are some more pictures of some of the beautiful tourist sites that we saw. This is the magic fountain of montjuïc. Unfortunately we didn't get to see it all lit up as we were staying a bit too far out to walk there in the evening but we did go by it on the bus tour.

 

 

 We also passed many amazing churches and statues. This was the Mirador de Colom. Which is a 60 metre tall monument constructed in honour of Columbus first voyage to the Americas.

 

 

I'm not completely sure where abouts I took this photo but I thought it was a bit arty so thought I would share. 

 

 

This is a photo of the doors to one of the banks in Barcelona. As usual it was very grand and the doors reminded me a little of Gringotts Bank from Harry Potter so I thought I would take a picture. lol!



 

And I think I have made this post long enough so I will just share one more photo which is a picture of a picture of a picture. As we couldn't take any photo's in Museu Picasso I got a print from the shop. This is a print of Picasso's personal secretary Jaime Sabartés who helped to develop the collection at the Museum.



 

Thanks for reading. Will post again soon. S x 

Wedding and BBQ fun

This weekend was lovely but a busy one as usual, well Saturday was Sunday was mainly spent on the sofa being lazy and a little hung over. We went to a friends BBQ Saturday afternoon where J got cuddles with baby Esme.

 

 A lovely afternoon was spent with great food and company and after I left to go to a friends Wedding reception I believe that's when more beers were had and the snakes came out!

 

 

 

I then went on to Nassington to join my work mates for the lovely Kate's wedding reception. She looked absolutely gorgeous.

 

 

The outfit I decided to wear was one that I brought it Barcelona. We did a little bit of shopping on our last day and I got quite a few nice bits from Zara including this high-waisted fitted pencil skirt and cropped top but I didn't get a picture of me in it so here it is on the hangers! lol!

 

 

And of course I had to take a selfie. Here is one of me with Jen before the wine!

 



 

 I was a bit poorly last week so I haven't been up to much else other than catching up on my TV programs that I missed. I am a little bit obsessed with Once Upon a Time and very sad that The Good Wife has now finished but I have so many books to read that I have plenty to keep me busy. I started reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Lee Harper on the plane to Barcelona as it is it's 50th Anniversary and I have never read it. I always read reviews of books in magazines and on blogs and this one came up as one to read quite a few times so I thought it was about time I did! I'm half way through and so far so good.
