Luna y Dino

Around 49 years ago eleven year old me was standing on the open platform of the 168 bus waiting to get off at the next stop.   There had obviously been some altercation between me and the dark haired Spanish schoolgirl standing in the aisle – but for the life of me I don’t remember what it was about – although I do remember surprising her (and myself) by sticking my finger in her Home Economics pudding and ending the argument on the spot.  She was livid and I got off the bus.

That was the start of a friendship that has lasted throughout the years, across different countries, with never another crossed word.

Last weekend I made a surprise visit to Inma’s home in Spain with two paintings to celebrate her 60th birthday.

This is Luna, she’s a really sweet Miniature Yorkshire Terrior but don’t be fooled, she rules the roost!

Dino Painting complete

This is Dino, the new addition to the family.  He’s full of bounce and love sticks!

Of course, I asked them all if they wouldn’t mind posing with their paintings for me ….. just for a second!

Oh, come on Dino, no sad faces – you only had to put down the squeaky toy for a second!

Do you remember Birra from my April 2016 post Pequeño Perro Negro? (I’ll link it if I can find out how!)  I couldn’t forget a quick photo of him too.

My stay was short and sweet, just for the weekend, but it was lovely to catch up again.  Plenty of good food and drink – but no finger dipping in puddings this time ;)
