Over 60 members and guests of the Anglo-Spanish Association turned up to listen to my lecture on the Life, Times and Artworks of Joaquín Sorolla.
Everyone really enjoyed it but I went on a bit long which left me rushed at the end. I was only asked to do the first half of Sorolla's life and focus on his works that were done in Javea during his holiday breaks.
As it turned out, the committee had made reservations to take me and their club members to dinner at a fine restaurant at the beach. Very nice indeed.
I was able to empty my brain and eat!
