Yes, ANOTHER birthday lunch. This time with these lovely chicas. We went to Raíces for a peruvian feast and it was so great to meet up and catch up. The pisco sours, peruvian beer and wine flowed, as did the non-stop conversation (we may have raised the noise level a few decibels, oops). All of us are at “new chapter” stages in our lives, at different ages (obvs) and with completely different backstories. But the main thing in common, the most important thing, is that we all connect, we all “get it” and we all supportive of each other. I feel very lucky to have these feisty ladies as my friends.

julie & steve are back!

After seven long years these two lovelies are back in town. Briefly. They’ve been spending the month in Málaga but popped up to Sevilla for a quick visit. And what a time we had… a belated birthday lunch at Augurio. A perfect way to spend a cold, rainy January afternoon, with good friends, good food, and some rather spectacular wines…

Thanks so much for coming up for a visit and for treating me to a magnificent meal. Glad you got to meet Carmen too. We were a trio of mandonas but somehow Steven survived. Come back soon! xx
