Essential Trip to Granada

We’re back in our house – relief. Still waiting however, for our boxes to arrive from England. They’re 2 weeks late and still no definite delivery date in sight. Hopefully they’ll arrive soon as I’m not sure our life in shorts and t-shirts can go on indefinitely!

It was Madeleine’s turn for the emotional roller coaster at school this week. Having survived till Thursday, the treat was a little shopping trip in Granada, (Simon declined this invitation). After feeling extremely proud of myself for navigating into Granada and tackling the underground carpark with the van, we headed to Zara (when in Spain!). Two hours, one skirt and a pair of jeans later, we moved on to the Carrefour (where you can purchase just about anything, including puppies – eek!). Here, along with the groceries we found a sticker book and stickers which Madeleine insisted was essential at school.

Friday at school turned out to be the most successful day so far with Madeleine swapping High School Musical stickers and admiring everyone else’s.

If only I had known earlier what the real local currency was!
