Well, last you heard of Mum and Dad, we'd all just got back from a quick tour of Scotland. Their next big adventure starts on Tuesday when we all go over to Nice in France to visit Ulrich and maybe Italy, Monaco, Corsica, who knows?
Our trip to London is booked as we're going to spend a week there straight after xmas before they fly out of Heathrow on New Year's Day. So that will still leave most of December for Mum and Dad to go places. We were looking on the internet the other day, and in the paper for a few ideas. They haven't been to Wales yet, so they were looking at various places to go. And of course there's the whole of south England to see yet. Mum would like to go to Amsterdam one day. There was talk of Norway too, but that would be very, very cold.
They made a decision at last, to........ wait for it............... the Carribean! Why not? A cruise to Montego Bay (in Jamaica) then off to Colombo (now Mum, no getting mixed up with those cocaine drug lords! We know what you're like...) , finally to Costa Rico and the Panama. Rum all round! Mind you, Dad had to talk Mum into it (it took about a whole day), after all she's got no summer clothes over here.
Just a week in the tropics, and then it will be back to wintery England. But at least Dad will have a comeback next time one of his golfing partners tells him he's mad to go to England in the winter.
It's been getting freezing here lately (literally) and I have vague hopes of snow on the hills one day. We'll see. Despite my best energy saving, planet healing ways, I've had to turn the heater on on the attic. Still, we used some good engineering the other night and stuck alfoil behind all the radiators.
In the last week Uncle Ron's turned 80 and Manda's got married - congratulations to you both and best wishes.
