tasty dinner out in tremp at the restaurant de gurp

enjoying the tour of la sagrada familia in glorious sunshine

at the camp nou

delightful day doing nothing but diving, dunking and dam building in the flamisell river

dinosaur hunting at basturs, didn't meet any but found a big footprint

biking out to the slick rock for some skills training

brilliant fun splashing in the river gorge and rock pools

great call to go swimming in the lake yesterday evening!

the kids settled straight into their new catalan environment and love chilling in the courtyard

woohoo! we're off, barça here we come!

another happy sad moment as parents say thank you, goodbye and give gifts to mrs ashmore at the start of the last school day yesterday

sad to say goodbye to the brilliant and lovely mrs ashmore, who is leaving porter croft for a new job teaching at the university

family selfie!

and another... after every great adventure comes, yep, ice cream!

another pic from our bike ride

also nathan came over last night and joined us for football and a yummy frogmore stew in the garden

we had a brilliant bike riding adventure together in the peak district this afternoon - circled the derwent and howden reservoirs, about 16km in total... here we've just turned the corner above slippery stones

joseph was puck in his class performance of a midsummer night's dream - here he is with his mates after their abridged rendition at the school summer fair
