Happy New year!
Christmas was fun! It was good seeing everyone back in england and especially good eating mum's chistmas dinner (on new years day).
Apart from a few days the weather here has been really warm and sunny. I even sat out on the balcony and read my gardening book in the sun. Might even start planting a few seeds if its stays like this.
Sunday was Spanish christmas (Epifany), so on saturday they have the 3 kings parade. We popped along to have a look as it was one of the festivals we hadn't seen. After waiting around for about half an hour we decided to walk up to the parade rather than wait for it to come to us. Everyone stands on the side of the road, many with boxes and bags waiting for the floats, all dresseed up as scenes of the 3 kings and other things, to arrive. They all have loads of kids sitting on them who then throw (with some force!) handfulls of sweets at the crowds. If not knocked out but a little sweety bullet everyone, mainly the adults scrabble all over the floor fighting for the sweets. If you have a box you just hold it up and wait for them to land!
its was acctually really fun! We ended up with 2 good pocket fulls of sweets which Michael is making his way through.
I hope you all had good christmasses!
