    Probably said before but Egypt for our 20th anniversary in June, we went there for our 10th and the wife reckons it was our best holiday ever, then at the end of the year heading over to Australia and hopefully watch a couple of days at Sydney cricket ground and catch up with family. Stopping off at Kuala Lumpur for New Year on the way out and Dubai on the way home

    Sat in Fig Tree bay enjoying a nice glass of freshly squeezed orange juice watching the world go by. Wife’s nice and bronzed and happy, daughter is twisting about no internet connection but I couldn’t be happier right now. Love these quality times with my family. Hope you lot are all looking forward to yours

    Not a summer holiday as such but back to Disneyland Paris next march and I’ve just been looking at flights.. they are astronomical compared to when I was there earlier in the year! No idea what’s happened there but the prices out of Paris are insane

    Not that I’m counting but six weeks and five days until we fly to Bali. Got 12 days there and it can’t come soon enough.

    If you keep walking or driving past surprise view you will come to a farm with a cafe on the tarn, if you haven’t been it’s beautiful.

    Spectacular storm here over the coast, would think the world is ending the way the wife and daughter are going on but watching it across the bay from the balcony is class, tried to get them to see it from my point of view but apparently I’m crackers ! Fork lightning right across the bay lighting the night sky, looks tremendous
