It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
... some lovely people through it.
We have just 2 more weeks at work before we have a week off and are heading to the mountains to have a go at skiing. Neither of us has been skiing before - so should be fun - we'll report on how it goes and on anything we end up breaking in our January blog!

The sound, what?” “Ah, Suleyman.” “No.” Waiter calls over a friend. I point to my ear. “What am I hearing? Can you translate?” They speak to each other in Turkish, and the friend pulls out an ...
