Happy New Year!

(And yes, I do know it’s coming to the end of January).

I have taken a few weeks off from the Diary and indeed temporarily jumped-0ff the treadmill of life.

The past month has been peaceful, quiet, calming, sleepy, uneventful but also incredibly fulfilling.

I have visited the gym nearly every day (and have lost 8 kgs/18 pounds in the process), have finally made proper friends with my youngest cat (we have always had a fractious relationship), have rediscovered my love of reading the “classics” (both British and American) and have “uncluttered” my life in spectacular fashion … all very rewarding.

I have undertaken a wee bit of travelling – the highlight being a brief trip to Paris (more on that later in the week).

Travel Channel has designated that EVERY night at 10 pm CET (Europe, Middle East & Africa) and 10 & 11 pm GMT (Sky 251 & 252) is Inside Luxury Travel’s new permanent time-slot. In the run up to the new series airing, a repeat is on EVERY night!
