CRAZY EDDIE

Every year there is a conference for the International Federation of Essential oils & Aroma Trades (IFEAT). In 2011, this conference took place in Barcelona. This was a great time for Ed to see a few people and come and stay with us.

He arrived on a Thursday, and he & I took the bikes into Sant Cugat for a look around and a cup of coffee. We came back to cook dinner and get settled, get Ed used to the place, as he was going to be staying for 3 weeks.

Friday morning we went down to get the bikes again, and to our shock and horror, my bike had been stolen. Not to worry, Ed took Sean's bike and went gallivanting around the village all day! He really embraced the Spanish lifestyle of cycling!

If Ed didn't go exploring on the bike, he took the train into Barcelona and explored the city. He even managed to get a surf in!!!


This is a band that he saw and bought a CD from. He seemed to travell around quite a bit, see the city and all of that! It was awesome.

The following Wednesday, Juliette arrived. We picked her up from the airport and brought her home.

I left Thursday morning to go to Madrid to write exams, and only returned the following Thursday. The two of them spent the week attending the conference and keeping Sean company ;)


The last week they were here, the three of us did some exploring of Barcelona together. We went to Montserrat one day, which was beautiful as always! 

On the weekend, we went up the coast to visit family - Enric, Suzy and kids. We drove up and spent the night in Cadaques, then drove to Sant Feliu to have lunch. Sean and I went home and left Ed and Juliette to spend some more time with them. It was a great weekend, Cadaques was beautiful and definately worth seeing.

Their trip came to an end on the Thursday. Amazing time was had and I'm so glad they came to visit and experience where we live!
