My trip to Barcelona

Last Sunday I flew to Barcelona, ready to start a couple of days work, "Training". I flew EasyJet, Hmmm, maybe not again. We arrived on time and then I waited for my work mate to arrive, 2 hours later, after sanding around in Barcelona airport feeling hot and tired, he arrived. Thank goodness, I was beginning to wilt.!!

When I left England it was cold and rainy, arriving in Barcelona wow!! Sunny, Humid and very hot, 26 degrees. So thats where our summer weather went!!.

I had never been to Spain, let alone Barcelona, I would recommend everyone to go there, the people are so friendly, the food is fanstatic and the architecture, WOW!!! what can I say.

We arrived in the office nice and early Monday morning, ready for 2 days training. Sadly things did`nt work as smoothly as planned, a few hiccups here and there but hey, things got better. Especially when we saw the sights from the office window. From the office window at home, all I see is the A14, but here it was just fanstatic.!!

The food was also great, if you like fish its paradise. All fresh and caught the same day, some still alive for you to choose, "Lobsters". And you must try the Paella.

Please note this was`nt a vacation, even though we did do alot of sightseeing. Go to the Rambles, what a exciting street to walk dow, very busy and hustly bustly. We walked everywhere, Taxi`s werent needed.

We had to move hotels on the Tuesday morning, as we had decided an extra day of training was needed. We booked ourselves into the Grand Marina, in the World Trade Centre, a hotel all must visit, 5stars + and it was only a 2 minute walk from the office. That meant we didnt have to jump out of the way of the bikes and scooters on the last morning, they dont seem to have the same road rules as we do.!!! Whether the lights are red or green the scooters and bikes just keep coming.

Oh dear, Wednesday afternoon came and home we went, so sad, a quick farewell to all the our new friends and then back to the airport and then a the flight home.

Our Grandchild

Well our daughter Lucie, is nearly 30 weeks pregnant with our first ever grandchild, she went for a big scan yesterday, Mother doing well and Baby growing very fast. This pregnancy has been full of its ups and downs, at 23 weeks the baby decided he was going to try and arrive a little early!!!!, maybe a bit to early. She had a fair bit of bleeding so of to hospital we went, she stayed in for nearly week, on bed rest and being checked on regulary.

So now we are all waiting for the big day, it is possible that my husband and I will be away in Florida when the baby arrives.

The scan photo I have attached is of his foot and tiny toes.:)
Hopefully next month Lucie and her partner will be going to have a 4d scan done, that sounds very exciting. :) Didnt have them around in my day!!!
