Paella and Bovril

I am sure some of you will be pleased to know that I am looking our my Barcelona window and seeing some good Scottish Rain!!  Last week in my wee part of Barcelona we had our civic week style celebrations, which as you can see involve running with fire and some wee devils!! Enjoy a blast from the past this week with an old one from last years "Letters from Barcelona" PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MATCH DAY PROGRAMME "Letters from Barcelona" I am sure some of you will be pleased to know that this week in Barcelona we have had “Scottish” style weather for a few days. At one point I thought I would getting the animals to go into the ark two by two. I had not seen rain like that in a long time. But I told the locals that 1 day of rain is nothing!   However it has caused me a few “fashion” problems. I have been able to wear, and had to in some cases, wellies, full on wet weather gear, flip flops, sunglasses, and scarf… I am sure you get it. Roll on su...

Gosh it seems like ages since I have been on a computer. I have not tweeted for yonks and my paella and bovril is most definitely cold. However I have just turned 30, done 3 cities in 50 odd hours and watched a Rovers match.

But if you listen to...

And of course I will be celebrating my 30th Birthday with my family at Stark's Park!! I hope it will be a little better than the match I watched on Saturday just gone. Well if I am honest it was not Scotland I was disappointed in but the ref...... Any way lets not dwell on that and look forward!!  I though that this "old" one from last years "Letter's from Barcelona" might make us a wee bit more positive! Today's post comes from the match day programme  Raith Rovers v Ross County. PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MATCH DAY PROGRAMME Letters From Barcelona Before November 2007, upon landing in Scotland, signs that said “the best small country in the world” welcomed you.  Every time we passed this, my partner would say, “Why say small, why can’t we just be the best?” A work mate before the match on...
