Well, its just a couple of weeks until we go to Tanz. All the jabs and tabs are organised - it costs some serious money to avoid malaria, yellow fever etc! The last four days we have made the most of the lovely cloudless skies here (and the sub zero temperatures!) to put in a bit of walking locally to where we live. We've just done 4 days on the trot - 6 miles the first day, then 7, then 8 and just finished with another 8. We have just two more weekends to step it up and then it will be "coming ready or not!". Below is the snow capped Clee from the other side of the valley where we walked. We did the same walk daily but added some time on the end. I wanted to see whether it felt any easier up the same inclines on day 4 than it was day 1!!
We're not the only ones off far and away. Our eldest, as I write this, is waiting at Birmingham airport for a delayed flight to Dubai to take off. I hope he gets the window seat and sees the newly opened Burj. It's just a stopover for him as he will be taking in Japan, China, and Hong Kong in the next fortnight. Younger son flies off to Hong Kong in 10 days time leaving the daughter at home in the cold - bless her! It wont be long until she's off somewhere too.
