here you see them 

Christmas is coming

Well, only aweek to go. Just finished writing my cards and thought I'd better let you know how Woody's visit went. The weather wasn't too bad most of the time and we had a relaxing few days wandering around Barcelona. We went to the science museum, which was great, but there were so many people there that it was diffucult to play with the exhibits. It's free to get in until January 7th so everyone took advantage. I don't know how much the entrance is but it's worth a visit- they have an inundated forest with birds living in it and lots of mini experiments that you can play with and they demonstrate how and why stuff is the way it is. We also took him down the Ramblas and showed him some more Gaudi stuff. He seemed to get on well with Pollo and generally enjoy himself. Only three more days of work and then I don't go back 'til the 10th of January. The 6th is a holiday here, it's when people traditionally exchanged presents although Father Christmas is becoming more popular. Globalisation of traditions- halloween is taking off here too although the traditional holiday is the 1st of November. Anyway, have a happy whatever you celebrate and however you celebrate it.

Winter's here at last

Well it looks like winter has finally found us here, we have 5 days holiday and it's raining-there's a surprise!!! Woody is coming to visit tomorrow for a few days so I'll let you know how that goes-I've planned stuff for fair and bad weather. I've just been communicating with my good friend Amazon and some of you will have little parcels being dropped off in the near future. I doubt I'll be over to see your little faces light up when you open them, because I think we'll need to sort Miriam out-she's decided she wants to go back and live with her grandparents, so we may need to take her or pay for the flight down. If I can come over (even if for a few days-to see my little bro'), I'll try and get a cheap flight. Otherwise, you all know where we are and as Mr. Woods is proving, once you visit us it's difficult to keep away!!!!
