Does anyone else marvel at just how quick the years go these days? I remember a time when it took forever to get to the next christmas or birthday, but now it’s like they are here before you know it.
So, life is going well. Russ is on his sabbatical in China and having an amazing time. I’m slightly jealous I’m not doing it with him though. It;s funny when you become part of someone’s life so much that you feel left out when they are doing something so amazing. Everyone he talks to seems to help him a little bit further down the road and he is just meeting the most interesting people. I’m hoping he becomes a bit famous from the travels.. but i guess we’ll see!

But before he went away, Russ and I went to Tenerife for 12 days which was really great. Tenerife is a bit of a package deal holiday destination for the Brits and can be ever so slightly chavtastic so I was a little bit skeptical about it all. I was however, pleasantly surprised.
Yes there were still chavtastic people there. Oh so white brits burnt to a crisp drinnking warm lager in Irish pubs and signing kareoke till the sun went down. And yes, there were even restaurants claiming ” No Spanish Food Served Here” on boards out the front as if that was there USP! I mean seriously! It was a bit wrong.
So we gave ourselves two days for some relaxing on the beach and then decided that we needed to actually see this island. So we hired a little car for a week and literally drove ALL over the island. And it’s pretty spectacular. The island is volcanic so while there was crystal clear blue skies down on beach level, we got to a certain point towards the volcano and began to notice the mini climates that the island had. One minute we were basking in delightful sunshine and the next it was greezing cold and cloudly to the point were you could barely see your hand in front of your face!
We found some amazing little fishing villages and ate at some pretty wonderful places too. One in particular was a gorgeous little place run by two brits at Los Gigantes. Russ and i sat on the terrace watching the sun go down. It was lovely.
But the holiday seems so long ago now. Work is manic but I’m still enjoying it. I’ve had hint of a new business project that i’m interested in but it’s all very early days at the moment.
Anyway, just an update from my end.
Hope you are all going well.
I have put some new pics up too.
