It was a short break but we packed a lot in and I will post a few facts and photos when I get myself organised. My overall impression of Valencia is one of boldness - in planning, design and structures. I took lots of photos of the buildings, the gardens, the wonderful ceramics and the new Marina Real development. More about all of that in the next few days; in the meantime, I wonder what I have been missing while I was enjoying my horchata and fartons in the Horchateria de Santa Catalina? 
One very pleasant surprise on opening my email was to find a message from Michele of HedgelandsGlassLassGems, saying that she had nominated me for a blog award! Michele said some very nice things about Random Distractions, for which I am most grateful.
Now, of course, I ought to nominate five more people for the award but, having been away while all of this was happening, I missed out: all of my favourite bloggers have been nominated already. If your blog appears on my side bar, then you know I think you add 'beauty, love and joy' to the world of blogging, I could add humour, intelligence and interest to that list. More on Valencia tomorrow but, for now, here is a contrasting picture of the Devon sky.
Welcome back, M. Sorry it's been damp down in Devon (though that's a lovely sky pic) - we've been basking in sunshine over this side of the country. Looking forward to seeing some more Valencia photos soon.
ReplyDeleteI cheated with the sky pic, J. That was taken the evening before I went to Valencia but even our brightest and best looks dull by comparison. I think we have some sunshine coming our way on Monday, I hope you don't get the rain.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you back, M. When can we expect to see those photos of you in full flamenco mode?
ReplyDeleteIf you insist, D!
ReplyDeleteNice to have you back! :-)
