It's ages since last time I blogged. Don't worry - I'm back in the harness for the foreseeable now. Bet you're relieved! lol
I think I mentioned that Martin, my mother and I were off on our holidays to the Dominican Republic. Well, we went.
I've heard and read very mixed reports of the Dom Rep (I'm almost a native calling it that!) but I thoroughly enjoyed the whole visit. It's certainly a country that's on its knees but is getting up rather than falling down. The poverty there os probably the worst I've ever seen but I've only ever travelled in Europe which isn't really a good gague of world economics.
The hotel was great. Dead cheap too. £15 per day for a room that was 40ft long and 16ft wide and ensuite with a verandah that was 25 feet by 12 directly overlooking the pool, four meals a day and as much booze as you want. £15 a DAY!!!! Amazing value.
The entertainments team were very hard working. They worked from 9am until 11pm five days a week plus a half day too... All for the princely sum of $2 per day.
Been home since Saturday and it has been pretty eventful. We've started looking for a house in earnest today. Looked at one in Carlisle but didn't really like it that much. Booked to see one on Thursday which I'm very excited about... Watch this space.
I'll chat more in the next couple of days and let you know of the progress! How exciting!!!
