Best Christmas Gift Ever

And the wrapped canvas was followed by a tiny gift box with a card announcing that after my three nights in 5-star all inclusive I would fly to Istanbul for two nights with my best friend Naz. On Saturday Leyla and Chris will drive me to hotel in Antalya then she'll pick me up from our local airport on Thursday 7th when I land back from Istanbul. In my absence Leyla will do the caring, we start training today. I still can't quite believe it. Our 7 Christmas guests flew back to UK yesterday after an amazing week. my daughter and her friends are wonderful people.

I'm off to Paris for the weekend with my sister, some time soon. It was my birthday present, from her, with a voucher from my daughter, to look after S.

Can't wait!

Thank you to everyone for good wishes. I am really excited now and L has already bit the bullet and helped change C last night prior to putting him to bed. After wonderful Christmas weather temperature has plumetted, snow forecast for Istanbul today and rain down here from Sunday onwards. But it won't spoil my holiday. Happy New Yaer to you all.
