On April 14, the day after Stephen arrived at James' Oxford pad he headed off to Barcelona with Keno to meet his madre Elizabeth who was there for a hepatology conference. Nick and Elena joined them a few days later and off they all went to the Costa Brava. Paulie and Stephen loved that area when they drove down from La Cachette pretty much a year prior en route to see Nick and Elena who then lived in Barcelona. From all reports we hear it was a lovely break and the lads loved a motherly catch up. Lucky her - 3 Spanish speakers in the group to ensure things ran smoothly.
