Wish I was there tonight...
Having visited Madrid in November, I have now stood in the Puerta de Sol, in front of this clock which will be the focus of festivitis in Spain much as Big Ben is in England. The square will be full of the level of chatter and hubbub that only Spaniards can produce - oh to be there! Hopefully I'll find it online somewhere!! Got my grapes ready...
Disaster! Tesco had no grapes! What is a Spaniard to do?
I quicly thought on my feet, adapted to the new situation, thought laterally and got blueberries instead... it's the thought that counts! :)
Happy new year Lisa!

@josepicardo - lol! Start a whole new tradition - much as you make up new words ;o)!!
Reminds me of the year my mother in law thought she'd make an effort to make me feel welcome and bought grapes so we could do las doce uvas - except she'd bought the biggest, seediest ones I'd ever seen!! That was a challenge!!
¡Feliz Año Nuevo a tí también!
