Winter Newsletter

A belated happy new year! As the gloomy wet depths of winter bite, there is no doubt that the allure of 'blue skies and sunnies' is strong.

 

It’s been a busy time with conferences, the festive period and many people jetting off on long-awaited trips, myself included. I managed to complete a hat-trick of Thailand trips in 2022.

 

I hope that my first newsletter of 2023 will provide some holiday inspiration. It's also a perfect opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone for all the lovely referrals I continue to receive - it really means a lot.

 

Receiving your wonderful holiday reviews and kind testimonials is such a pleasure and they help a small business like mine share what I do with others who may need my services.

2023 holidays and beyond are already in high demand so it's wise to lock in prices as soon as possible. Please talk to me about your plans as soon as possible to secure availability.

 

Remember, my advice is free, and my knowledge is priceless!

 

Thanks for your support as always.
