Back from my hols - and although it was rainy and cold at the start, we had a fantastic time. Rather than give you the whole 10 days in one go, I'll tell you a little at a time - spreading it over the next few posts.
First up was Granada
Although I really like this statue, the picture was taken mainly for the shop in the background - yes, you're reading that right - Yellow Rat Bastard! And, it's a chain! We saw Yellow Rat Bastards all over the place... tee hee! 
This is one of the main squares in Granada - the statue is of Queen Isabella and Christopher Columbus. I really like the flower display - those are cyclamen - loads of them in pots in a container with a spiralling trough. Very clever. And I love the lilies - we've got those in our front garden.
This one is taken at the Science Park... in the rain. Martha - sensible girl that she is - hovered over the seat, while Tom sat down - and had a wet bottom for the rest of the afternoon!
This is inside Granada cathedral. Those columns are absolutely huge - you can just about see a person on the left hand side to get some idea of scale. I loved it.And then the Alhambra. What a fabulous place! The carving is just amazing - when you consider how long it's been around.
It has a kind of serenity and stillness that gives you a great sense of calm as you wander around.
And then as we moved into the Generalife gardens, the rain came down - and down - and down...
This staircase had troughs in place of the handrails which are supposed to have a trickle of water cascading down them... they had a torrent when we were there!!
OK, that's enough of Spain for today. Especially as I have something else to show you... my photo for the prostpectus!! Well, the one I like best - I hope they'll use this one - although the others aren't bad, just not as nice.
I'll be back with the next installment of our hols soon - and maybe even some jewellery to show you!!
