END OF YEAR MESSAGE

Wednesday 29 December 2010

It has been a very hectic almost manic year!....

As viewers to my website will know, my father was seriously ill at the beginning of the year and died in February 2010. The sadness and the time spent on dealing with his departure put me back several months.

I am also sad to report that book has been delayed but I should be back on track early 2011 and hopefully get it published late in 2011; hopefully well in time for Christmas.

I am also keen to conduct two more English tea room tours in 2011, with the first being conducted during the Easter holiday. In addition to the tours, I am also hoping to continue the filming of highly recommended and recommended English tea rooms, following the success of the Miss Mollett’s filming, with Josephine Buchan.

I am also half way through the next issue of the Time for Tea magazine, this time full and packed with tea room features and lots of extra stuff as well.

I am going to have an e-newsletter and if you wish to receive this, please go to the home page of the site and complete the online form.

I am disappointed, as on Boxing Day it was my 50th Birthday and we were going to celebrate Christmas and my birthday in New York, USA. We booked early 2010 and the bad weather and flight cancellations, we decided to cancel. So we are heading off for days away in England as I write this final 2010 blog entry.

I hope you had a very nice and enjoyable Christmas and may 2011 bring health and happiness to you all.
