Merry Christmas from a fullhouse here in our bnb, both sons and the girlfriend are also visiting so I feel very blessed!
Hope you can get back to Taiwan soon @livinguktaiwan.
Would we have believed the world would be brought to its knees by a virus in modern times? Not me for sure!
I'm dying to write this letter and will get to it before the year's over!
Our staff all went home to be with their families so it's up to hubby and me to do the cleaning; had 2 guest changeovers the last 2 days, totally exhausting with all the sanitation one has to do!
But thankful that one group of guests are here for 17 nights! Another guest canceled due to a death in her family.
A close friend contracted the virus but seems ok so far, just extreme fatigue, and we're hoping it stays that way.
2020 has certainly been full of ups and downs!
Thank you for including me here, will be really a good way of reflecting on the year that's almost over!
Wishing you and yours all the best:)
Apologies for the delayed response Liz, I'm so glad you have your family with you over Christmas, that's such a blessing that Christmas is not spoilt. It must be hard working preparing for your own festival celebrations and looking after guests at the same time. Though I imagine it's just one of the things you have to get on with nowadays, given the situation. Hopefully, you can put your feet up at the end of each day and have a nice drink to relax yoursefl.
This year's Christmas has been devastating for many in Europe, the UK government did a U turn a week before and many ended not being able to spend Christmas with their loved ones. I spent Christmas with my sister as she couldn't meet up with her daughters who are both in London - the outcome of the U turn restricting movement in London and surrounding areas. So in a way, it worked out quite nice for us, otherwise it would just be another day for us.
I look forward to reading your Me in 2019 letter.
Take care!
