Yummy!! Hope you managed to buy off that gorgeous deli. Spanish cold meats are delicious, did the boys enjoy their tapas?? Sarraneo ham is amazing, no doubt they would have had it on that extensive market stall!! :O))
Happy Birthday to you! and Happy Birthday to you too! Many many happy returns to you both Jack and Ben!
Hope you're having a great day. I did try and send you an all singing and dancing e-mail birthday card but have failed miserably so this is it I'm afraid!
Auntie Marjorie is at a meeting this evening (she is out every evening this week - her life is just one long social whirl!) and so won't be able to join us on Skype this evening. But we will try and arrange it for another day. She sends her love and congratulations to Ben and Jack. Have a wonderful day y'all! Talk later.
Love Anne x
Barcelona Morrises - good to see you progressing well. The pictures from Barcelona brought back memories of a long weeked spent there nearly ten years ago. Probably best if Mr Morris keeps his shirt on though; white flesh and brown arms! Paul.
Figueres Great pics from the Dali Museum. Went there many years ago and loved the place. He's probably best known for his surrealism but there are some superb 'Conventional' works there too. Belated Happy Birthday too, the trip is clearly doing you some good - you don't look a day over 45!! All the best to Max and the boys.

Belated Happy Birthday! Hi
Sorry we missed your birthday - hope you are enjoying your culinary, sorry, educational tour. Have you put on any weight yet? There seems to be so many tempting foods wherever you go - I think I would be the size of a small house by the time I returned to UK.
I went to visit the Dali museum with Paul's sister Chris and found it fascintating but a bit disturbing. Perhaps that is the response he wanted.
Keep sending the blogs - they are very entertaining and great fun. We are with you in spirit if not physically!. I know it is the boys birthday soon - are you planning a particular venue for their day? If I can't get a card to you then I will send them an e-mail message. You sound to be finding just thr right balance between work and play for them.
Glad to hear you managed to find fuel - we were worried in case you got stranded somewhere.
Life here goes on as usual. Lindsay is now 29 weeks pregnant and has just found out that she has become diabetic. Seemingly it happens to about 9-10% of pregnant women and with a few alterations to her diet she and the baby should be fine. Simon is working hard and gradually making progress in his business. Paul and I went away to LIncolnshire to visit family earlier this week. and surprisingly found some lovely places to visit. So it isn;t all flat cabbage fields after all!
I'm still off work - the doctor has now confirmed it is work-related stress. I feel such a wuss but work has taken over my life so much in the last couple of years that I need somehow to restore the balance.
Haven't seen Auntie Marjorie for a couple of weeks. I will organise picking her up sometime this week to update her on your exploits.
Maybe we could Skype while she is here - she wouldn;t be able to believe that! How do I add you to my contacts list?
Anyway enough garble. Carry on enjoying yourselves (must be a film in there somewhere!)
Lots of love to you all

Wet & Windy and a bit of snow Glad to see you are having a great time. Last week I experience rain wind and a few inches of snow in the Cairngorms. Bet you wish you were here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vous avez un bon vacation.
Canal Du Midi Lovely picture of the canal. We have walked and cycled along stretches of the canal nearer Carcassone many times and I have a lot of similar photo's of the sunlight filtering through the leaves and branches. Luckily, it doesn't seem as if the French militants are disrupting your journey too much. Have fun.

Looks like you have been to some fab places. We stopped in an appartment in the square were you have a photo of the tram running through. Did you climb up to see the waterfall called castel hill? You get a wonderfull view of nice, love to you all xx
Ahhhhh!!! Now back home on the 10th Oct, still seems so long ago. The pictures are great, its nice to say "been there, done that" have a good time, I will investigate this blog in due course. Our blog is www.suencurly.blogspot.com Will have to complete now at home. Have a lovely time and enjoy!!!
Long time, no blog comment!! Hello all, hope you're still all having a great time. We are still missing you - and we are losing yet another Year 5. Yes, leon Moonie has moved to Upper Cumberworth so left today. We are down to 23 children in Year 5 now. Hey ho!! The weather here today was misty but warm - 17 degrees, but not warm enough to be out in our t-shirts like Thing 1 and Thing 2. I saw Ethan coming out of the Sports Centre on Monday night as I was going to play badminton. He had just been for his trampoline lesson. Year 2 had a visit from Skelmanthorpe Fire Crew today as part of their work in History and Science. We had a huge fire engine in the car park. Glad to hear that you're keeping up with your Maths work. 7x8??? It's my favourite sum, isn't it, Jack. take care, Love Mrs Rutter x
....and it's hello from him. Could do eith some of that there sun over here - today is a grey and foggy (or is that just my brain?). Food seems to be a recurring theme but then, it wouldn't be a Morris blog without it! Thouroughly enjoying followuing your exploits so keep 'em coming. All the best to everyone.
Dave
We Should Never Forget Very sobering indeed. This should be part of the curriculum as the past informs our decisions about the future if we use wisdom.
La Dolce Vitae I am so envious of you now. The North doesn't do it for me, but I love Italy and have spent many wonderful times on Lake Garda ( yes it does rain heavily) and in Verona. Fabulous. For your information it is grey, foggy and 13 degrees in the North of England today.
Keep blogging.
NO Contest. Look Paul if you put a pic of Max on the blog surrounded by Local wine, wild mushrooms , and beautiful lakeside scenery .. what are we all gonna be interested in? Oh Yeah... appya birth-a-day Thingy!
Looks like you're having a great time .. Have fun Kids... and Jack and Ben!!
impressed Hi, good luck with your travels we are headed to Spain and Portugal for the winter too let's hope the weather's kind.
