Back in the UK now. Taking breakfast on this cold wet saturday morning. The rain is washing the snow (slowly) away here in the south. The number of different birds visiting the garden appreciating the bread, nuts, grease ball (hey she feeds them better than me
) are many and they seem appreciative. Haven't seen as many song thrushes in awhile. My Sevillana is amazed that plants like Heuchera are alive and well under the snow. Well I tell here they are Brits and we are a hardy lot - the half empty grapefruit skin bouncing off my head doesn't hurt that much. Looking at the grapefruit skin I make a note to buy 1000s of tea bags to take back next month.
I look at a kilo of serrano ham. It was on offer at 7Es/kilo. Not Iberico but a lovely flavour. And plan how I will demolish the kilo of large langostinos crudos - 7.95 Es. 50/60 piezas - couldn't by a dozen for that price here back in blightie.
Outside the fine rain is moving almost horizontally in misty waves. Wish I was back in Asturias.
______
Things aren't as cheap in Spain as they used to be (esp if your income is in pounds) but there are still wonderful bargains and special treats to be had.
Anyone like to share real bargains and/or treats that they will appreciate this weekend that would be tough to equal back in blightie?
