me & wee Jimmy ... in the snow! brrrrrr ... my beard is keeping my face warm though!

Firstly - Travel Channel UK tonight - Sky channels 251 and 252 - the new series of Inside Luxury Travel kicks off ... in Melbourne. Airs at 9 pm ... I stay at Chateau Yering and Crown Towers, hot-air balloon over the Yarra Valley, dine with a dingo and take a rather fun flight over the city ... ENJOY!

The snow has been falling all day --- now around 1.5 feet --- snow chains --- AWESOME! James popped round to discuss 2011 ... he wears t-shirts in the cold ... the youth of today!

New hotel opening today - the Shangri-La in Paris. This palace property looks simply stunning! Bon chance mes amis!

The weekend is finally here! Whoo-hoo!!!!
