Hola, I have just packed my suitcases for England. We are going tomorrow and I really don't know why when it is only about 17 degrees there and over 35 here! Oh well, at least we should sleep well. Actually it shouldbe nice to get out of this oven that is my flat. I can face the cold for a while as I know that I come back to Spain. I don't have to live with it forever. We actually fly direct to my apartment in the south of Spain when we come back from England so thats a week on the beach for certain. hooray!
Tonight will be our last night with Miriam - Jose's cousin. She has been staying with us for 6 weeks as she has worked the summer for Jose. If Olivia doesn't crawl tonight Miriam will be annoyed. She has spent the last few weeks watching her look as though she is off but then never quite make it. Its obvious that she is so close and Miriam wanted to be here to see her first steps. Hopefully Mum will see it instead though.
It has been a pleasure to have Miriam stay here. She has been our adopted daughter and we have had fun introducing her to life with a baby and life with an English veggie! She has been freaking out looking in my kitchen cupboards as she hasn't had a clue what anything is. However she is now fully initiated into the world of soya and quinoa. She has lost about 4 pounds and looks great and feels great - so thats another person converted to the benefits of my diet. I know she won't keep it up, but at least she won't knock it.
