A couple of years ago we had a family dough ball fight on my birthday (fuelled by a bottle of cava) and now every time I make dough balls or it's someone's birthday, the kids hopefully ask if we can have a food fight. They answer is always no! The crumbs went everywhere. Lovely beach pictures, the weather has been fab, hasn't it?
