Now that LapInfant's arrival is imminent there's going to be a lot more visits back to see the family, but I can't imagine making it to Barcelona for a long, long time.

I do hope that Quick Burger fares better in Spain than they did in England. I remember when they opened in London. And then how quickly the quality of the burgers deteriorated afterwards. It didn't last too long.

Ah well, the flipside is that (and in a rather desperate attempt to bring this back on topic), thanks to my recent visit to Brugge, I discovered the Belgian chain "Le Pain Quotidien" and that it has branches within St Pancras Station and also next to the hospital in Hampstead where I seem to be going to 2 or 3 times a week lately.
Who knew that in my quest for value drinks and breakfast whilst staying at the CP Brugge I'd stumble on such a wonderful and convenient source for good bread (stone baked baguettes for £1.50) for home and wickedly good sandwiches to supplement the hospital rations.

I am so glad I went to Brugge!
