*Cofradia*

Palm Sunday in Granada - the Confradia from the Church of Santo Domingo passing our hotel bedroom.

The childhood home of poet Federico Garcia Lorca on the Calle Acera del Darro.

Granada’s Plaza del Carmen. In the early days of the civil war, the Republicans set up artillery here to defend against the Nationalist revolt.

“If you were to visit just one city in Spain, it should be Granada”. Hemingway came to this beautiful city in 1922 and again the next year, staying in the Alhambra Palace Hotel and the Áurea Washington Irving - both still going a century later.

A… well, you can read it for yourself cocktail in 3 Onzas, Granada. It’s served this way so you can decide for yourself how much to dilute it. Delicious!

UofG!

A Disco Mi-To cocktail last night - similar to a Negroni but generous with the vodka and added orange bitters. Not bad.

A pleasure to be at the UofG SRC Volunteering, Clubs and Societies Awards this evening. An amazing array of talent.

Locksley Hall by Lord T: In the Spring a fuller crimson comes upon the robin's breast; In the Spring the wanton lapwing gets himself another crest; In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish'd dove; In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.

Wishing Eid Mubarak to all my Muslim friends and colleagues!

Very sorry to hear this sad news. Richard was a fine man and a true Christian who opened his Church on University Avenue to help people from all backgrounds and faiths.

Terrible to see the devastation and civilian deaths in the Lebanon.

Is it just me or does everyone look like they’re wearing the same strip #francevengland

A small Margarita to console myself after the rugby today. Have a great weekend, everyone!

A Jockey club cocktail - made with white Crême de Noyau. Good weekend, everyone!
