Day 5 - Pre Christmas dinner
Lisa and Andrew invited us around to their house for a pre Christmas family dinner.
We were joined by Pat, Cheryl, Rory, Shannon, Lee and Sarah along with the Cool kids, Cari and Jude.
Andrew and Lisa cooked up a superb Lamb dinner served with all the trimmings and a selection of desserts.
The cool kids were on tremendous form and especially loved the "Pie face" game and the Secret Santa.

Another cold, blustery day in the Welsh capital and we paid a visit to Ma Flav who warmed us up with hot tea and bacon sandwiches.

Day 3 - Santa's Grotto
On a bitterly cold morning we drove North of Cardiff to Santa's grotto in Radyr. We met up with Sarah and Lee as well as the "Cool Kids", Cari and Jude.
Cari and Jude were so excited as we waited for Santa's magical train that transported us around the Kingdom. The first stop was a Mexican grotto followed by an Indian grotto.
We then had the honour of meeting the man himself, Santa, who handed out the gifts to two very excited kids. We then made our way to the cafe to warm up on coffee.
In the evening we returned to Lee and Sarah's house, played a game of "Smelly Wellies" and enjoyed a very good Indian meal.

Day 2 - Bristol to Cardiff
We woke up on our first day in the UK to heavy downpours of rain. After breakfast we collected our hire care and made our way over to Cardiff.
Driving conditions on the M4 were bleak with huge lorries driving at dangerously high speed in poor visibility.
Safely arriving in the Welsh capital, we stocked up on supplies before meeting up with Pat and Lisa.
In the evening we popped over to The Birchgrove pub, which was nicely decorated for the festive season, before returning to our Air B&B for a tasty stir fry.

Winter Travels - Day 1
On a wet and gloomy day in Cyprus we packed our bags for our annual holiday. We made our way to Paphos airport for our flight to Bristol (UK.)
The Easyjet flight was comfortable and at four hours 20 minutes, we landed in Bristol some 30 minutes early. The first thing that we noticed was the drop in temperature, as soon as we left the aircraft's cabin, the cold wind made us shiver.
We spent the night at a local airport hotel where we enjoyed a couple of drinks and dinner.

Christmas Quiz and an Early Dinner
The Hillview restaurant in Pissouri was the venue for the Christmas quiz. After a superb dinner, our team, "End of an Era" came a respectable fourth place.
But the main reason was to have an evening full of laughs and on that score, it was a Great evening.
The Following Sunday we were invited around to Sheena and Bryan's for a "early Christmas dinner" due to the fact that we will all be apart over Christmas. Bryan Cooked a Lamb dinner and with Sheena in charge of the kitchen, everyone enjoyed a superb dinner.

Winter break to Paphos
Taking advantage of the glorious Winter weather we decided to take a break for a couple of days in the nearby town of Paphos.
Our base for our short break was the Hotel Aquamare which is situated on the coast at the eastern side of the town.
On our first night we strolled up to bar area of town but were surprised to see how quiet it was. We then headed over to the Xiang Gong Chinese restaurant were we enjoyed a superb meal.
The following morning we took a stroll down to the beachfront where the temperatures hit a balmy 27 degrees.
We stopped of for a quick dip in the sea before spending a relaxing day by the pool.
In the evening we made our way over to the Colosseum restaurant for dinner and to watch Dean Jones perform his highly entertaining "Tom Jones " tribute show.
