Well, to be honest, November was equal turns surprising and amazing. So, I think I’d be having a rum punch in lieu of a coffee (or maybe a Jamaica Coffee – dark rum, coffee liqueur, coffee, heavy cream and coffee beans. But, I digress.) 

It was rather destined to be lovely – Mr Kiwi and I had a holiday to Dubrovnik booked, missing all of their summer crowds, so we spent nearly a week exploring the ancient Croatian city. I guess you could ‘do’ Dubrovnik in a couple of days, but we wanted to really relax and explore.

So, we hired a city apartment buried right in the medieval centre, booked in a couple of day trips to other countries and spent a fair amount of time drinking beer on cliffside bars. More on that in separate posts I think – including a rather wet exploration of Mostar in Bosnia.

We had plans for a few Thanksgiving meals – one annual Friendsgiving (complete with a few feline guests)…

…and one high up over London at Aqua Shard.

We slipped back up to Aqua for their Christmas tree reveal…

…and I’ve had several client photoshoots – all rather delectable.

And then, then I was sent to the Caribbean on a very exciting press trip which coincided with one of my best work month’s so far. It’s not the done thing to talk about money, but sometimes you 

And now, iiiiiiiiiiit’s Christmas!!

Some inspiring blog posts I’ve been enjoying leaving open as a hint for Santa of late are Sarah’s list of Stocking stuffers for travel lovers, Kerry’s gorgeous post about her visit to National Trust properties in Kent, every dish that Gary at the Foodaholic has been enjoying lately and all the fun Binny has continuously.

How about you?
