In a few short hours 2018 will come to an end, a year full of ups and downs. A year full of visitors in Phuket, new places explored and many friends and family seen in-between. The year started off very rocky with the loss of my father and Lola falling very ill. But by April things were looking up with Lola on the mend and the Hopkins visit to Thailand. We also both got to see our families in the summer, Luis traveling to Ecuador and me to Barbados and the UK. We were also lucky enough to see many of the Ecua crew in Thailand, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and even Romania. I also got to be a part of Maria's beautiful wedding and see all the Basel crew again (goodness when you look back it does seem like we did a lot!). And of course we have spent some wonderful times with our friends in Phuket, even picking up a few more along the way.
And even if the start to the year was far far from ideal we have been able to end it with family and good friends and the excitement of what 2019 holds for us.
We have been having such a great lead up to the New Year, eating loads and playing games with the Hopkin crew.
Luis and myself made an Ecua lunch yesterday for the crew.
And of course the one that made it the most special is Freda, she is such a joy and just love her to pieces.
This morning we ended the year having a lovely brunch in town.
We are now gearing up for the big night, and celebrating the start of a new exciting year. Love to everyone and all the best this last night of 2018!
