Travelling...
Oh dear how many of us like to go to the other side of the world, the bottom part for me, as I am on 'top of the world' here in the UK when I last glanced at the globe. Now to get to the other side takes a lot of planning, scheming and lots of hard work!
It is for that very reason ' hard work' that I have not written a blog for a long time. I like to take this as my excuse. First it was coordinating my plane ticket from the UK with hubbie's one from Qatar...then it was contacting all the family to hear if it was a convenient time / days...all this emailing and planning left me tired even before the plane took off. Then there was 7.5 hours to Dubai, then a quick grab of a coffee in maddening crowd then off again for another 9.5 hours...In my 'younger days' it was fine, but now as age set in the old bones walk slower and the body gets tired...BUT I survived to tell the tale and here I am♥
How lovely it was to see friends and most of all family. We are 5 siblings (see previous blogs) and we all talk at the same time so you have to be on your toes when visiting...but we had a lovely time. Then there was Cape Town....blue skies and friendly faces everywhere.
