Mushrooms!
It's the mushroom season! Yesterday our friend Fernando brought us this lovely collection of setas which he had collected from the surrounding area.

Last night they were chopped up, fried in a little olive oil then added to an omelette for our supper. They were delicious - really "meaty".
And we are still here today to tell the tale!

To the Zaragoza fayre...
It's 8:30 and we set off on the coach with a group of pensionistas from our village to Zaragoza picking up other groups as we pass through a couple of neighbouring villages.
Click left on any image in order to see the photo full size.
The buildings themselves are enormous with 9 pavilions as well as a main auditorium.
Events were also taking place outside such as this display by the parachute team.
Inside two pavilions were displays by local garages of new and second hand cars.
The food hall was packed with people and local produce of every description was on display...
After a hearty, meaty lunch with wine and cava, it was back to the main hall for some rousing jotas.

Como hacer un estuche de lápices con fieltro
Os proponemos otra manualidad para los niños y para la vuelta al cole. Podéis aprender a hacer un estuche para los lápices de fieltro como este.
El fieltro es un material muy util para hacer manualidades con el que podemos elaborar todo tipo de objetos y decoraciones, como broches, flores de fieltro, marionetas y muchas otras creaciones.
Para hacer este estuche de fieltro necesitarás:
- un trozo de fieltro del tamaño que quieras darle al estuche (un poco más largo que los lápices es lo ideal)
- pegamento, no es necesario que sea una pistola de pegamento como en el vídeo.
- tijeras
- un botón grande
- unos trozos de un lazo
Aqui os dejo el tutorial para hacer el estuche:
Mountains and sea!
We felt it was time for a short break so we decided to have a couple of days in Andorra where the capital of the co-principality is imaginatively called Andorra la Vella, (Old Andorra).
To see any photograph full size, click on it with the left mouse button.
According to the weather forecast we were to expect rain and temperatures as low as zero at night. However, despite a fresh start in the morning, when this photo was taken, we had relatively clear blue skies and it was quite warm.
Our next stop was at the Parador at Vic-Sau. The hotel is in a wonderful spot overlooking the Sau reservoir and this was the view from our bedroom window.
The following morning the entire valley had filled with mist which gradually burnt off in the heat of the sun.
Only 3 kilometres away down a narrow track is the 11th century Monestir de Sant Pere de Casserrers, St Peter's monastery, which had been restored, along with it's separate restaurant.
No, we didn't go on a helicopter ride to get this aerial photo; it's a photo of a photo on display in the monastery but it shows the sort of area we were in with the monastery in the middle.
Each column in the courtyard had been restored beautifully using original pieces where available.
We then had 2 further nights on the coast at Platja d'Aro, or the "beach of Aro" Unfortunately, the cloudy weather which had been forecast but we had avoided in Andorra caught up with us here but that didn't stop us driving up the Costa Brava to Cadaqués which has strong links with the art world being visited by Picasso, Miró and many others.
We continued our excursion by going to the Cap de Creus, the easternmost point in mainland Spain, passing by the home of Salvador Dali - maybe next time we shall pay it a visit!
Normally you can see right down the coast - today unfortunately, was different - but it looked good.

Ashley Greene new face of Mark!
I've always liked the Mark products and became ubber excited when Ashley Greene became their spokesmodel. I've been reviewing all the new Mark magazine's hoping to get a glimpse but nothing until today! The website Daily Makeover posted the first pic of the actress as well as lending tips to achieve Ashley's look.
From Daily Makeover:
First of all, you'll need to dust Glowdacious Illuminating Powder in Prettied Up all over your dry face. Next, apply Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint in Spicy to the apples of your cheeks for a fabulous flush.
Get yourself an On The Dot Eye Color Compact and apply the second color in the top row over the entire lid, then use the first color in the middle row and the first color in the bottom row in the creases to add definition to your eyes. Use Lash Splash Hook Up Waterproof Mascara in Black on your lashes to make your eyes pop, Ashley style. Apply Lipclick Full Color Lipstick in Cha-Cha, blot and reapply for a great lip look with staying power. Voila! Ashley's makeup look from the ad!
