JAMES AND MY MUM

My cousin James and my mum are two very important people for me. Whenever we can, we have lunch together, to talk about our things.

In this photo we were eating at Duran hotel in  Figueres and I took the picture.

James is 28 years, he is an architect and works in Roses. When I need help I can rely on him, and so far has never failed me.
He has a  good relationship with my mum and we have confidence in each other.
Sometimes James comes round home to explain his problems to her.
Sometimes I get annoyed with him because he likes to wind me up, but he is an important person to me.

In this photo they were dressed up as mimes, they used things they had at home to make the costume. Whatever they needed they bought it in a Chinese shop, and without spending much made a nice costume
Mimes are comical characters that use the hands to communicate

CE FORTIA- DESERVED VICTORY

The players of the Fortia football team have come second in the league and have won promotion to 3rd Catalan league.
The coaches are David Maspla and my cousin James
Fortia is a small vilage, but people love football and the pitch is always full.
This year, to thank their support, the players made a special banner to thank the fans' support during the year in the last game of the season played at home,  
It was a nice gesture from the players.

SHARING WITH MY MOTHER

My mum and I when I was younger, playing to see who could eat a slice of watermelon we had in our mouths.
We liked to play and do silly things
When we see this photo, my mum tells me how it looks like we were sharing the watermelon and she tells me that in this life we have to learn how to share, and that we get what we give.

It is a charming and funny photo!!!

SWEET PHOTO

This photo was taken by my uncle. When I see this image I think that when someone has a child or a grandniece are connected for the rest of their life.
The hands of the parents or grandparents in this case, holding the baby  from each side represents  parents or grandparents protecting their baby or their grandson with love and care.

For me its a sweet and affectionate photo ann I like it very much!!

DANCING TRADITIONS

Here we see the horses and giants dancing a typical dance in my grandfather's town, Sant Feliu de Pallerols. 

It is a traditional dance where cardboard horses  guided by children or boys from the village and the giants dance different dances in the square and make a parade through the streets of the village  with the "mulassa", a fantastic beast.

Sant feliu de Pallerols is a village located in la Garrotxa and the horses, giants and "mulassa" are recognised cultural heritage.
