Maria picked us up around midday and we ended up taking the scenic route back as we were all chatting so much we missed our turn off the A1! We ended up going back via Radlett and missed the M25 but it wasn't that much longer and probably cut out some motorway traffic. Maria brought Harvey (the spaniel) along and he was a good boy in the car.
The day we really relaxed as we unpacked a bit and just enjoyed the warm sunny afternoon. Dad was home from work around 2.30 which was lovely so we could spend the afternoon together.
Dad made a magnificent paella for dinner - filled with chicken, prawns, calamari and mussels. Perfectly cooked, Jo and I dived in to get the crusty rice from the bottom of the pan - yum! After we thought we couldn't eat anymore (it was served with yummy olive bread too) Dad brings out a huge cup filled with home-made Chocolate mousse! He made it last night and it was done with Orange Liquer, Pistachios and a hint of Chilli. Well, it was a battle to finish it be we both did! Felt slightly ill afterwards from eating so much but it was all so good we couldn't leave any!
