How nice it is to put used toilet paper in the toilet again, strange the things we miss whence abroad.

Baths! I missed my bath! Couldn’t complain though because our bathroom looked like a marble spa and I could open the window and watch the sunrise over the mountains of Fuerteventura whilst in the shower. Of course I can open my bathroom window in England, but it doesn’t smell of holiday.

Ketchup, our family believe Ketchup is the condiment king, but the Spaniards seem to have an aversion to it. About twice in the week during one meal setting they put a bowl of red sauce out, it wasn’t the same though and I thought Harry might just drink it seeing as it’s part of his staple diet.

Buck’s Fizz for breakfast. Now I don’t have this in England, we’ll only for special occasions, but the table they usually have the fizz on at breakfast times has been removed. I did try to inconspicuously look for it, but I didn’t want to seem desperate.

Harry decided that he could eat some meat whilst abroad, but still classes himself as vegetarian. I think it’s on account of the fact he isn’t so attached to Spanish animals and believes they can look out for themselves.

I put on a whopping 8lbs and enjoyed every last finger licking good calorie, back to the protein shakes now though! Protein shakes and dust for the next few weeks until I’m back on track.

Thankfully Cheeky and Parker didn’t pop their clogs! They are hamsters, we don’t have staff. I had got them some raw silk bedding for warmth and loaded them up with a variety of nibbles. In fact they look quite perturbed when I woke them at 3 am when back to check in their health. They didn’t get the memo about being nocturnal.

Is it bad that that I was looking for our next holiday before we’d even left Spain? Well, you’ve got to have a dream and ours is sunshine and quality family time.

I notice we brought some sunshine back with us, you’re welcome. For everyone else you’re getting a novelty fridge magnet.

My one regret, I didn’t pester anyone to take a photo of the four of us together, oh well, now we’ll have to go back!

We had a lovely time, but it’s good to be home.

Love and hugs, kisses and wishes.
