Globetrotters| Madrid, Spain

As we come to the end of January [about damn time, doesn't it feel like this month has lasted for a year], it is time to, hopefully, wave goodbye to the cold weather, feeling like death warmed up from the flu and say hello to the beginning of Spring, kinda.

I don't know about you but I often find myself looking at holidays around this time of year, to get away from the dullness of the British weather and go somewhere a little bit more warmer, not too warm though as I will come back looking like a tomato. Due to this, I thought I would put my Globetrotters series [yeah, remember this blog series that was supposed to be monthly but turned out I am useless at remember to do it], to use and well.

So we are off to sunny Spain today...
