Haiti

In the first week of January the Sunday Times travel magazine tipped Haiti as one of the top destinations for 2004. "It's the new Cuba" they said.

Happy holidays in the Land of Voodoo folks.


Grand Opening Night

I'm pleased to announce that the dining room is almost complete. Carpet went down last week -- giving India a soft playzone on the ground floor -- and we're really just waiting for the fireplace to come back from The Forge (blacksmiths). The plaster cracks need filling and we're awaiting a delivery from Ikea -- the missing leg to our new bookcase -- but for all intents and purposes it is finished.

Emma and Scott are coming over for sausage and mash tomorrow night. I have the red ribbon ready to go.

Bring your scissors Em.
