A little spacer

Spain was beautiful yesterday as I arrived. One of those cool, fresh days, but with such a blue sky and warm sunshine. A really small, thick, Spanish hot chocolate and something from the patisserie. Outside in a piazza of a very Catalan town called Terrassa.

Meanwhile, there is no better way to draw a line in the sand than jumping on a plane to another country. I have two weeks off work before I 'officially' (and finally) begin as a graduate at a law firm. Given that I was working there as a paralegal since returning from Europe 2 months ago, it's quite fortuitous that I have this little break - so that I'm not just turning up the next day with a new title. A new start.

And I'm in Spain! Quite a long way yes, and I was almost guilty of committing 'death by surprise'. But it's so good to be back, and to see Anna and other wonderful friends - Estel, who picked me up from the airport, fed me and helped with the surprise; Chris who is just as silly as me and is visiting last minute from London, and hopefully Marine et Laurent who will be just over the border in France this weekend with their 1 month old boy. These Europeans - not Europe - are the reason I am here.
