SO Xmas Day & Boxing Day are over ... and now we start the run up to the end of the decade! I started my business almost exactly 10 years ago ... and I am still here (just)! What a ride it has been ... 486 Five-Star hotels ... 110 countries ... many, many new friends ... oh & the odd slice of pizza!

It's my birthday this week too! Another year older ... another couple of inches around my waist ... more wrinkles ... hair sprouting from the palms of my hands and the soles of my feet ... I think am turning into THE yeti!

SOOOOO looking forward to New York! In the snow!

Song of the Day: Grace Kelly - Mika

I have a slight tan however!
