Portugals Update

Maxs Birthday Bash
Max´s "rent a brother" Logan

Firstly Happy New Year to you all from the Portuguese Clan. It´s good to see what everyone was up to over the Holiday Season !

We had a very quiet one in the bitterly cold UK, Great Yarmouth to be exact.......Both Max and Clare were ill with the winter flu that has been sweeping through the UK, so in the end was a very low key affair ! I managed to survive only with slight sniffles and sore throat, so very lucky !

New Year was passed with clients of mine ! as unluckily Matt, Kayley and Logan (see above) were also ill last minute for our planned New Years bash........

So now back to work, things still quite quiet continuing on from 2010, but here´s looking forward to a more productive 2011 ...... good news is that Clare booked us yesterday to Mexico at the end of this month, so looking forward to Riviera Maya visit, we have luckily found direct route from Lisbon to Cancun, 7 nites all inclusive at the
http://granbahiaprincipeakumal.com/ so looking forward to a little winter R and R.

Max is already planning snorkeling, kayaking and "maybe a jet ski? Daddy :), Clare I am sure is planning Mai and Tai and the sunbed twins for a week !

Good Luck Sis on the house front.......was that Fl. calling ???? You know you are always welcome to stay in out apartment for a few months while you get yourself sorted !

M and D, glad to hear you had a great time packing for the Scholtens in Kentucky with a little time for house repoairs thrown in ! Mum you must be madly looking on the cruise possibilities and you have NOTHING booked for February !!!! LOL

Love to all in all corners of the globe,

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, one and all! Snow conditions perfect in Courchevel this year. Skiing. boarding, and sledging enjoyed by all, though by Gabi only for four days - rest of the time on crutches, which she did not enjoy (and is still not enjoying).
Finn celebrated his sixth birthday by getting his Level 4 skiing badge, and Jordan started boarding, very successfully, for the last three days of the holiday. Maizie skied on Dad's back and loved going up the drag lifts.
Nana did ski as well as taking photographs - Courchevel has good blues and greens!
Happy 2011 to you all,
Lots of love,
Bev
