Yesterday Mother’s Day was celebrated in Gibraltar just like in some other places around the world. This year instead of taking my mum out to for lunch we decided to do a BBQ at my brother’s house in Santa Margarita which is not far from Gibraltar . The weather in this side of the world is starting to heat up a bit earlier than usual which is very nice as I do love the heat of the sun.
So we got all of the food we needed to take ready and set off but unfortunately what we did not plan was the border queue being as big as it was on a Sunday lunch. But then again you never know how the queue is going to be. Anyways, after nearly an hour we got across to Spain and made our way over to my brother’s house which took about 5 minutes to get there. The border queue is a big hassle to everyone - it is not only a hassle to us but also a hassle to the Spanish too.
When we got there like normally the dog came running out to say hi to us and I think it was also trying to find out if anything in the bags was for her. As my mum had not got there we unpacked our bags and sat in the balcony enjoying some wine and the sun. When my parents and my sister arrived we gave our gifts to mum and we had a little something also for dad which we thought he would enjoy.
We had a lovely BBQ on the balcony and enjoyed the lovely sun after lunch. I had a little nap for about 15 minutes before the dog jumped on me and decided the bewt way to walk over the sofa was all over me and Nadia, which she then repeated a few times and we kept having a dog in our faces.
We left a bit early because Nadia had to work as she was on duty this weekend but it was a very enjoyable day out.
Happy Mothers Day
