Egypt
- 2011 Has Arrived
Hello to everyone. I hope that you are all living up to your New Year's resolutions! I will have no difficulty living up to mine because I didn't make any. Having said that, however, a serious diet is required - I ate like a horse whilst I was...
- Back To Autumnal London
It was a pretty drive back. Even the motorways were flanked by vistas of Autumnal leaf change. The colours were marvellous in the bright sunshine. My house was still standing patiently where I left it, but I had so much post that I had to fight with the...
- Hello From Sunny Wales
It really is sunny here today, and looks very beautiful shining over the Welsh foothills where there is a thick coating of snow on the moors near our house. I just wanted to say a BIG thank-you to Ben and Kat for having done, and continuting to do, such...
- The Development Plan For Luxor
Al-Ahram (Jill Kamil) The width of the Nile Corniche boulevard in Luxor is to double as part of a development plan that is now steaming ahead at full speed. Egyptologists and concerned Luxor residents regard it as a terrible loss of historical 19th-century...
- Blog Update
Tomorrow I am off to north Wales for a few days. I won't be updating the blog whilst I'm away but I'll update it on my return. I won't be picking up emails either, so I'll reply when I get back. I'll be back on Tuesday or Wednesday....
Egypt
If the weather gives us a break we're off to Luxor today
There's nothing like sending postcards before you've even left the country :-) .
I am hoping to fly to Luxor today although we are inevitably psyching ourselves up to spending the night at Terminal 3 thanks to the snow and ice. Oh joy. My house is surrounded my snowmen built by local residents, which are really pretty but something of a bad omen for travel!
Assuming that we actually get to Luxor I understand that there will be WiFi but just in case something goes wrong, this is just a quick message to say that I am not back now until early January and may or may not be sorting through emails or updating the blog between now and then. I'll find out when I get there so watch this space and if nothing happens please be assured that I'll backdate the blog when I get back to London, and reply to my emails too.
When we get back, assuming that we ever leave, my house will have been redecorated by a friend of mine who is house-sitting for me - scary to return to a new look interior! I picked out all the colours but you never know what it's going to look like until it is on your ceilings and walls. Thanks Terry - and don't party too hard until the paint is dry!!
I hope that those of you who celebrate it are ready for Christmas and that everyone has prepared a big list of all those New Year resolutions that most of us never manage to keep!
