My 40th Birthday in Barcelona

On Wednesday morning at 7am last week my husband shouted up to me from downstairs "Fiona, can you come down here please, I need your help". Duly I went downstairs to the kitchen to be greeted with a loud blasting of BARCELONA by Queen! My husband told me to get ready, pack a bag and be ready to leave at 3pm because we were off to Barcelona that very afternoon - SQUEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My parents very kindly came up to look after the boys/take them to school etc and I quickly packed!

Barcelona in one word - AMAZING!

We ate, we drank, we walked - repeat this for every one of the 3 full days we were there and take out the walking for the one night we arrived. We found a bar, had a drink and bite to eat. Moved on to a cocktail bar and stayed until 3am - who knew we could do that still, at our age, on our own, 15 years into our relationship!

It's best summed up in pictures I think! Starting with what I wore:

Travelling and site seeing

My birthday lunch

My birthday evening

Site seeing

 Shopping - EWWWWW check out the beetle necklace!

We did do some cultural stuff!

Some of what we ate and drank

And here's the great man himself - we fell in love all over again and we are looking forward to doing this annually from now on. I need a year for my liver to recover!

My favourite photo of us both

Have you been to Barcelona? Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did
