There and back!

--A little love from my friends in Manila


I cannot believe I spent 10 days in Manila. Imagine 10 fun filled, exciting days in neverland! I met a lot of good old friends. In fact it came to a point where my sister likened me to the Dalai Lama because of the stream of visitors coming from far away just to see me—laden with goodies. I was flattered at the same time humbled by the display of affection. I am one lucky person!
I also spent time with my family. There was my mother full of beans after a bout of pneumonia a few months back (which precipitated my visit), my wacky sister Rosa and her lovely kids—all four boys and my niece Sunshine, a wonderful young woman. I also spent a lot of time with my best friend Melanie and her family.
We ate, drank coffee, reminisced and joked a lot. In fact I never laughed so hard for such a long time. I slept very late and woke up early. I was so knackered by the end of it all!

I am now back in Blighty facing a lot of changes. Hubby and I (plus the dog) are moving house next week. I was also relocating a lot of people at work. I am actually looking forward to a proper holiday. I am glad to go to Provence this year. Antibes here we come!
