Shortly I will be travelling (with our man in Spain; Toni) to the UK.. for lots of things but the immediate one is the AW Christmas party.

Last week I had just arrived in Spain and was telling you about the creative folk of Indonesia, and speculating that Creative types are generally nicer people. 

I arrived exhausted from my trip to Indonesia.. and this week have been busy recovering and catching up with developments at AW-Artisan our Spanish company.

It's been raining in Spain.. a lot - flash floods and massive black thunder clouds.. I even had trouble getting out of my house this morning.. The front garden had flooded and the road outside turned to a small lake.

I arrived in Spain last Friday (36 hours travelli) and that same evening headed out to the AW-Artisan Christmas party in a very nice restaurant in central Malaga. Of course there was excellent food and wine and even better company.. We had a delightful time with plenty of little speeches and everyone was grateful and happy to work for AW.. eventually between the main course and the desert it was my time to give a speech.. By this time I'm a little frazzled and jetlagged and slightly tipsy.. but the speech went down well - I thanked them for their hard work all year and wished them the best for the future and didn't forget to mention that right now they are my Favorite Team..
