Madrid

I've been away for a while, for which absence, sorry. But now we have internet, and a house to put internet into, things should get back to, ah-hah, normal.

We're living in Madrid, in the excitingly multicultural and annoyingly one-volume Lavapiés area. Or is it excitingly one-volume? You never know if it'll be people practicing their drums, or having a fight, or setting their dogs on one another, that'll get you up at three in the morning.

This is in some senses the most Madriddy bit of Madrid, where people still celebrate their rich cultural heritage by making a lot of noise. Here are some authentic castizo Madrileños dancing the paso doble (loudly).


And that's enough of an introduction. If I were feeling stronger, I'd write down everything about our move from England, but you probably wouldn't believe me, and anyway, the facts are in the hands of my lawyer at the moment. Suffice it to say that by whatever means, we have got from this
to this,

and are much the happier for it.
