Happy New Year everyone! Back in Southampton now following 6 glorious days of eating and drinking too much in Scotland. No Flybe delays today - a good omen or a fluke?!? Final set of jabs tomorrow and catching up with friends over the next few days. More eating and drinking me thinks!! Only 4 days to go before we set off for Moscow. All flights and route now confirmed (provided we don't change it again!). Key dates below. Keep in touch! xx 8 Jan 201...

18th Dec - the morning after the night before. Three weeks to the day until we head off to sunny Moscow. A big thank you to those of you who were out for my leaving do last night, good times. It's snowing this morning which means the removal people aren't coming to take all of our stuff away to storage - tonnes of boxes everywhere.. So anyway, the blog is now up and running, we thought it best to make sure that there was at least one entry on it before we left ...
