Miss J.S. You are obviously well travelled. Good for you. I am a great believer in travel being the best form of education. Just wish it wasnt so damn expensive but I do give it priority. I think bc where we live although beautiful it is small, so I am terrified of my kids growing up with small island mentality. So far so good.
My friends back in Blighty have been telling me about the snow. I so dont miss that. Went to London last Christmas and it was a nightmare. We had a 12 hour delay in Athens bc London airports were closed. Then when we did get to Heathrow we had to wait hours for luggage. Then no one could drive out in the snow to meet us and with no public transport either I was held to ransom by a bloody minicab driver who was my only offer home. It always amazes me how the UK knows its going to snow every year. We know its coming but yet the whole country will come to a standstill.
A few days after staying at my mums we all started to get cabin fever as apart from sledging it up and down the hills and over the Heath there was not much going out. Then the obligatory family drama, when someone's wife decides to confide in me about her affair. WHAAAA?? Why tell me? I was happy not knowing. So I vowed never again for Christmas.
My husband has developed a new affliction. He keeps wandering round the house mumbling "krisi krisi" ~ "Crisis" and turning off all the lights...lol. So we decided to stay at home this year, the first time in many and realised our youngest child hasnt ever decorated her own tree. Result...here I am on my tiny island, looking forward to a 'just us Christmas' but missing Ja. missing London, missing anywhere but here. Weather is mild. Boring actually. Think we will go to Athens for a few days after Christmas just to break the monotony and remember there is an outside world. Watch my island kids go the wrong way up and down the escalators... hehe!
What are your plans for Christmas? any travel plans?
Love Everytime! x x
