JUNE, 15: THE HOLMES DAY

Today, The Grandma has received some fantastic news from Cambridge. 

While The Poppins were still visiting Washington DC in their American trip, The Grandma came back to Barcelona last Saturday to stay in the last concert of Amaral in the Catalan capital. Although, The Grandma is a great fan of this group, the real reason of her return was being in the city to wait news about the Holmes' Cambridge exam.

The day has arrived and The Holmes and The Grandma are excited after the fantastic results and marks of this unforgettable family. For one hand, all members of the family have reached a Cambridge Certificate and for other hand, Manoli and Núria Holmes have reached another Catalan Certificate.

The Holmes are plenty of happiness and they want to share it with the rest of the families, especially with The Poppins, the next family who is going to certificate in Cambridge next month.

Finally, The Holmes are celebrating Rosa's wedding anniversary in a private party in this moment.

Congratulations Holmes! You're fantastic, unforgettable and eternal!

On Sunday, The Grandma had an introspective day and decided to do nothing except thinking and thinking while the rest of the family was visiting museums and important buildings. Manoli Holmes saw how her dream became real visiting Hercule, the famous detective, while Rosa Holmes was having tea with Audrey, an actress who she admires a lot. The rest of the family were visiting some cafés and eating chocolate without stopping, while Carmen and Asun Holmes were remembering old times in the High School with an incredible teacher: Maria Mercè.
