Eileen and Alex have a 10 month old baby girl, Marianne. I suppose you could say Marianne is Catacostan or, maybe, Costacatalan but, whatever you say, she's a sweet and beautiful child. They all came to see me last Sunday.
We met at the Cooperativa and drove to La Figuera. I had a couple of things to do with my estate wines and we tasted through a few barrels. Alex knows a lot about wine and he liked what he tasted. Of course, that always makes me feel good!
We stopped by my vineyards on the way home to look around. Marc Tost is doing a very good job and the vineyards have never looked better this time of year. It was cool and breezy (more on this later) so we took a few pictures and headed home for lunch.
We had my version of a traditional Catalan Sunday lunch and spent a couple of hours visiting and playing with Marianne. It was a great opportunity for me because I miss my little grand daughter. Eileen and Alex are a lot of fun and it was a pleasure to get to know them. They're a wonderful family and I hope they'll come see us this summer when Rose and Ted are here.
They put Marianne in her stroller and we took a tour of El Masroig. The wind had calmed down and it turned out to be a nice afternoon. I showed them the sights and we ran into Jordi and Lluis.
Alex, Eileen and Marianne went back to Barcelona. Nora will stay a few days to help me. It's always wonderful to meet new people. Altogether, it was a very good day!
