I'm staying at my mum and stepdad's this summer as my flat in the toon is rented out whilst I'm enjoying myself in various locations around the world. This meant I had to call upon some lovely friends to put me up for my recent visit to Newcastle for another friend's wedding. It's strange being a visitor there after having lived very happily on Tyneside for seven years. Apart from the biblical floods on the Thursday night followed by a monster hangover after accidentally enjoying 2-4-1 bottles of wine whilst sheltering from said biblical floods I had a lovely time. The wedding was beautiful, congratulations to Mr and Mrs Munn.

I've also been lucky enough to have a few days in beautiful Madrid with my mum. It was my belated 30th birthday present and it was a great way to escape the rain! The little dude from the hotel who picked us up at the airport confidently told us it wont rain until September in Madrid. Nice!
We had a grand old time, enjoying tapas, flamenco and sangria. Ole and all that. There was some cultural stuff and shopping too. Madrid is a fantastic city, yet another place in the world that I could happily live in. We especially liked the dedication to Ham spotting numerous 'ham museums' around the city streets. They are of course a chain of shops (disappointing) selling an impressive array of you guessed it, ham.
