Free at last

It is the moment we have been waiting for since confinement started on March 16th. We have been following the news daily hoping the borders would open in time for summer. We had visions of us spending July and August in Paris OR setting off to the South of France with the half of its residents squeezed together in a TGV or stuck in a humongous traffic jam.

But... we got lucky! After a few false alarms Spain's border with France finally opened up on June 21st and we were in that car heading south. Olé!

Never have I been happier to arrive in Madrid with the prospect of spending the next months enjoying my pink cava (prosecco) and basking in the sunshine... but let's start with breakfast and catch up on the local gossip first!
