HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.
Wishing everyone a really good one. Hope you had a brilliant Christmas and managed to stay up until midnight on New Year's Eve, gets harder every year. Harry, have you been unwell this year, if so, hope you are ok now. Dave, all thoughts and prayers are with you, once the treatment is finished you will be back gardening and selling those ice-creams, plus take the holiday you had to cancel. How are you Maureen, Marie and Vince, sending all my love and best wishes too. Great to see new friends joining us and welcome.
Back on land yesterday after a marvellous cruise. The weather, although very very hot was excellent, which meant the seas were as flat as a mill pond, which is always good. 42 degrees in Fiji with 99% humidity wasn't much fun, even the locals were complaining, but along with Margaret and Bernard and 2000 wild party revellers, New Year on a cruise was everything anyone could ever want, and we all felt very blessed to have the opportunity to be there.
Take care. P x
