so looking forward to visit the Grand Egyptian Museum!
With a year-round programme to Egypt and all that's classical, consider finding time to head south - for winter sun and plenty of history, culture and more!

we ran to Cleethorpes to help our daughter with her uninsulated home.... then stopped at Windsor on our way to Twyford (near Winchester) to see our son who is hoping to convert a garage that is in disrepair and needs rebuilding, (good job Dad's an architect, even if he has retired 😂)

2 Dec: In #Norse lore, Frigg watches over marriage, fertility & motherhood. When her son Baldr fell to a mistletoe arrow, she knelt beside him in grief. Her tears touched the bare sprig that struck him, and each drop turned into a white berry—a reminder to cherish those we love.

Folegandros or Tinos, two islands close to popular hotspots yet retaining their local flavours. There's that intake of breath for any traveller when they can be guided to discover a lesser-known, idyllic Greek island and we'd love to help you visit both of these Aegean gems.
