Back in the game !!!!


OK, firstly my apologies for being absent without leave since April, but had a few interesting things happen, including changing companies ! which is where all my details we left on my old computer !!!
So here goes, I now am happily employed in Quinta do Lago still selling (or trying to!) villas here but now I work directly for the resort ! Tough times but it is for everyone. so onwards and upwards is the continuing plan.
Clare now on her yearly 4 month sabatical, her job only starts again in March, so shes planning our holidays as I write, but she doesn´t realise that our budget is around €70 and Bognor Regis is looking good this year ! She had a busy year as usual and is looking forward to a break. We are at the "outlaws" for Christmas in sunny Norfolk, still the good news normally there is NO shortage of turkey over there !!LOL (even though Uncle Bernard (Matthews) passed away recently!)
The Maxster is on top form as a recent visit to the UK confirmed (ask Nanny and Bottletop!), loving his golf, we played a "big" course for the first time for his 8th (YES 8th!) birthday. The International school is superb we hear only rave reviews from both Max and his teachers so he´s obviouslyt NOT taking from his parents on that front! Also liking his footy and is playing for a local academy here near home, twice a week.
Outside of that life continuing ! we have had a few weekends away (see photos above, that´s Porto) and I have had a couple of extra (semi work) orientated visits back home which is always nice.
I hope all branches of the tree are keeping well, again my apologies. Please drop me a line to catch up now and again.
Love to all,
Jamie Clare Max Jack Jessie Pablo and Kitty (I think that´s all!)

Happy Memories

We love you Poppa Jim

Arizona Adventures





Just back from doing the radio shows in Scottsdale Arizona. Perfect weather and lots to do: hiked up a mountain in the dark to see sunrise over the Sun Valley; mountain biked in the Sonoran Desert; and drove an Israeli Special Forces Tomcar into remote desert corners. Of course, I'm not mentioning the soft stuff like spas, museums and art galleries... More, if you can stand it, on the Travel Show blog: http://www.christalkstravel.blogspot.com/
