The Madrid Paradox

I went to Madrid last weekend (Friday morning until Monday morning). 

It was an absolute joy.

I think it will become an annual pilgrimage in the Campbell calendar for at least the next few years.

I went with my great friend Colin Burns, whom I have known indirectly for many years but with whom I have worked closely for about the past ten years. 

Colin has been a Real Madrid fan for 25 years, and we went to see them play in a league match on Sunday afternoon.

But this is not a blog about football or about a visit to Madrid; it's a blog about the trade-off for humanity and health and friendship and kinship and understanding when enough is enough.

When we arrived in Madrid on Friday with Callum, my son, and Tom, our marketing director, at the practice, we decided to have a few sociable beers in the hotel bar.

Colin had not arrived yet, and he would tell us the next day that you can have the love of your partner, your faith in God and any number of joys in your life, but there is nothing better than afternoon drinking!

I don't drink very much anymore these days at all, but I have drank a little bit more over this Christmas time than I would have done usually, and I drank more in Madrid than I would typically under most circumstances.
