Jo and I have had a bit of a rough time over the festive season. Christmas wasn't a great success - Gary and Luca managed over to ours, but, like us, Luca wasn't feeling great so a lot of the food prepared went to waste. Then there was our 50th Anniversary trip to the luxurious Old Course Hotel. We thought at that stage that we were getting over the respiratory virus but we were mistaken - it took a second bite at us and we ended up spending most of our time there in our room. Our plans for spa treatments etc had to be abandoned.
Our plan to head from St. Andrews to Edinburgh to pick up Ross and bring him to Banchory for the New Year also had to be aborted, as did a subsequent plan for me to go down and pick him up for his weekend off.
Anyway, we now feel sufficiently well - just - to be able to fly out tomorrow. Aberdeen - London - Kuala Lumpur - Adelaide with Malaysian Airlines is our chosen route.
Anyway, here's a photo from Christmas Day as we were telly watching:
This is what Gary and Luca bought me for Christmas:
I plan to be wearing it daily in Oz!
Wish us well on our travels.
