However I think the crisis (and the weather) was really reflected in the very poor turn out. Only 4 tables!! I felt very sorry for the owners (one of whom dissapeared out the door with a bottle of cava at 10 to midnight!) as they were quieter than a regular weekend night. The price was a bit steep but 2 years ago it was full to the brim. A real shame. As for the grapes, ours were wrapped in blue sellophane, the colour of which had since rubbed off onto the grapes putting us off! I think I managed 3 grapes before I decided I couldn't crunch the pips. My friend, the most supersticious of our group, was the only one who managed them all. Well done her, hope she has good luck this year! But then again, so do I! Hi Keidi,
