Flying Off Like Santa.




 I took this photo at the airport last Monday
 morning.

The two lads and their girlfriends surprised us with a birthday/Christmas  🎁 for yours truly and wifey.

No we weren't going to the Algarve but  kept  flying South.  Four and half hours on a Brian Hare plane

Any idea where we are ?  JayCee would definitely know our destination.  No it's not the Isle Of Man.  If you are a Norwich  City fan you will  know their nickname?

It was going to be warmer than the Irish Riviera that's for sure.  

I will take some photos for the blog.  Wish you were having a drink with us.

26 degrees  yesterday Saturday.  The hotel WiFi doesn't work and I have very little mobile phone data left.  If you do comment I will definitely reply even if it's some time early next week.

Hope you're all well?

English spuds.

    Oh, lucky you!!! How wonderful. Las Canarias are just great at this time of year. Certainly warmer than the Isle of Man that's for sure.
    Have a great time and please post some photos.

    How very kind of your sons - Nigel and Humphrey and their girlfriends - Chardonnay and Hermione - to send you off to The Canaries for a pre-Christmas break. They must think a lot of you.

    It was kind of them YP. I just wonder what major house renovations have been carried out. They don't ask and knocking a hole in a wall is no problem for number 1 son.

    Yes we are very for Debby. I think a holiday would be a great Christmas present for anyone this year. I hope there are no renovations being done whilst we have been away.
