Hi everyone, sorry for being quiet as one after the other at home is ill, it started with tummy bug, cold n cough, fever with noel and later turned into ear infection. Half way through his recovery, I was thankful that it happened before christmas so that he gets better just in time for Christmas but something else was instore for me, now I am totally down with terrible viral fever and now Rocky’s got it so I had to cancel everything, right from preps to the the christmas lunch with outmost sadness and just just hope we recover soon.
Its really hard when you are all alone in a foreign land and suddenly you realise how far away you are from loved ones!! You think about them all the time but at times like this makes you wonder why and what for ??? But we try to cope!!
Sorry for not replying to your emails and thank you for your wonderful comments. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
See you all in new year!!!

There are a wide range of fish, meat and veggies and you can select your own lobster, how cool is that?We all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and the menu was simple n elegant.
