    Sunday evening I went to a football match at the minor club in Jerez. They are two divisions below the other club , but are at the top of the table and could go up. When we first came to stay in Jerez their pitch looked like the Sahara desert, mostly sand and covered in ruts. During our stay the council, who own it, dug it up and reseeded it and now it's wonderful! Barnet's pitch has really suffered with the weather and lots of matches have been called off as its unplayable. They would give anything for a pitch like the one here now!

    Yesterday was a walking-about day and I went past the Jerez bullring. It's all closed up now as the season doesn't start till May. In the evening we went to one of the best restaurants here, which we have been to every time we are here. They have a five course tasting menu (they are very small courses!) paired with a different fine sherries with each course. We were pleased to find it as good as always.
