Ave del Paraíso

Picture this. It's 10am, the 9th of October. There's not a cloud in the sky, it's 23°C. I'm sitting with Don Duende & Señora Comecocos taking breakfast on the terrace, cremoso con fresa. I'm in sunny Spain. The birds are gently chirping away. I'm in paradise. Mickey Biscuit siempre tiene duende.
