Shonaโ€™s card factory reopens.

My christmas card making extravaganza was lots of fun, making lots of Christmas Tree card magnets and also quite a few boxes of cards for clients, friends and neighbours. I had lots of very nice feed back which was a lovely start to the holiday season. I took a few weeks off from my hobby with the start of the new year, especially, as business at our travel agency has picked up a pace with new and old clients starting to prepare for their holidays this year.

But card making gives me moments of pure creative mindfulness and a little break from the daily toil, so the paint pots are coming out again and I have a new project, in that I will be making little Bon Voyage Card magnets to put with travel documents for clients travelling, thanking them for booking with us and wishing them very pleasurable and enjoyable experiences on their trips this year ๐Ÿ˜Š

Pablo our new little kitten also asked me to make a card for the nice vet who gave him his second vaccination just a few days ago and he wanted to write and thank her for being so kind and gentle with him, so I have done that for him and he has written her a little note, which he meowed to me.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year, may all your wishes come true and maybe you too, will receive a card from me? Who knows? I hope so. ๐Ÿ˜Š

BABY IT`S COLD OUT THERE!
By Bruce Lyons of Crusader Travel

As the Bishop said to the Butcher, put the boiler on standby, tell the neighbors to look after the cat โ€“ packngo!

Just this week, one of our regular clients came in and asked us to propose a holiday to use up some left-over precious holiday time, so I explored a few options for holidays offering Sun and also good value.

If you are short on cash but high on expectations โ€“ well ponder this.

La Badira, 5* adults only, member of the Leading Hotels of the World. As on the hotelโ€™s web site, โ€œThe name " Badira : as bright as the full moon" seems obvious. Playing on the principle of shadow and light, dear to the artists who have frequented Hammamet since the beginning of the 20th century, itโ€™s sound inspires a poetic universe filled with serenity. Everything that makes up the essence of the hotelโ€ This luxury hotel, with a heated swimming pool, right at the shoreline & with very good reviews too, at under ยฃ600 for a deluxe ocean view room for 13 nights what more could you want? The hotel is close to cultural & historical hotspots and only 50 minutes from Tunis and the world-famous Mosaics, The Bardo Museum. Or if you fancy adventure over culture, you could go desert bashing in locations where they filmed Star Wars, or Camel Trekking and much more. The package comes with superb flight times too. ๐Ÿ˜Š Fabulous! Shona wrote an article on her trips to Tunisia in the Twickenham Tribune edition 0417 on the 1st of November, on her experiences in this wonderful country. Well worth a read if you do feel like venturing to this North African country.

A TIME TO DREAM! By Bruce Lyons of Crusader Travel

It is that magical time of year, when the Travel Industry launches programmes to entice people to travel and with it comes little carrots to make the offerings palatable - and this year in some places there are some golden opportunities. Not just sun but a real travel adventure awaits- one that has long been on many peopleโ€™s MUST DO lists.

With the return of more than one a week flights to Luxor, we are offered a surfeit of Nile Cruises (last winter, there was just one whereas this winter, there are 5 flights!) More than that, more Nile Cruise ships have returned to the marketplace and there is at last some competition. For those that just want to cruise up this majestic of all Rivers and just watch the Biblical scenery as you pass by with Pharaonic Temples at the shoreline โ€“ you can do this โ€œall foundโ€ with flights and transfers and full board from just over ยฃ700 per person. An amazing opportunity for those who just want to chill out, or the elderly & those with limited funds and mobility and who donโ€™t really want a big package of excursion, but would be happy with one or two.

For the real McCoy you can pay up to ยฃ4000 per person and more, however there are good deals to be had this winter (at least for now that is) The Land of Pharaohs on an iconic Nile Cruise vessel, on one of the most famous rivers of the world, is a holiday extraordinaire. You`ll visit Karnak Temple (at the edge of Luxor/Thebes) and can experience the Sound and Light experience there, with Richard Burtons narrative immersing you in Pharaonic Folklore.

Best to rest after this as tomorrow you will visit the Valley of the Kings and more โ€“ perhaps you will dream of Howard Carter and how he discovered the Valley all those years ago or get muddled up ( in your dreams) with Harrison Ford Sean Connery and the Raiders of the Ark โ€“ you will also visit the tomb of Tutankhamun and after this, you can rest on the upper deck in the shade as you cruise up river โ€“ wonderful scenery and wild life too.

Next you visit Edfu ( Home to the Temple of Horus) โ€“ all these stops you have excursions with a qualified Egyptologist and then on to Kom Ombo (the Temple dedicated to two Gods) As you cruise you`ll see the timeless Feluccas and jambalayas plying their River trades as they have over the centuries.

Finally, you reach Aswan, home to the High Dam that was created in the last century to create Lake Nasser. From here you can take an optional Excursion to Abu Simbel to see the unfinished Obelisk and the Philae Temple โ€“ a lengthy trip but with rewarding experiences. At the end you overnight in Luxor again โ€“ a bustling Nile city with an amazing Market & many wonderful museums.

Your Cruise vessel for the seven nights is the Al Horeya and on the 30th of January this, including a special discount, would cost ยฃ1434 in a superior French Balcony cabin on an all-inclusive basis, excursions โ€“ flights โ€“ transfers, all included! Fights are from Gatwick
Other dates & Monday and Thursdayโ€™s sailings are also available โ€“ Believe me, this will be the best season for many a year to Cruise the Nile. You could add Cairo or a short stay on the Red Sea โ€“ on request. Pop into Crusader, at 58 Church Street, for a chat or a brochure. Egypt and Nile Cruising happens to be a speciality of ours ๐Ÿ˜Š

A year has passed, and a New Year awaits.
By Shona of Crusader Travel.

This last year has been one of many trials and also quite a few tribulations. The saddest experience for me, this year, was losing our Cat Stevie, who one day many years ago followed us home. He was a stray cat, and we had let him stay in the office and one night when walking home we turned around and he was right behind us. That was about 15 years ago, and we never really worked out his age, but we think he was well over 17 when he died.

He had been my mumโ€™s constant companion, as she had been very unwell for many years and had started staying at home a lot these few last years, since Covid really and Stevie sat by her side every day and night, taking a few breaks to eat etc but that was it really. They say Cats can sense when their humans are unwell or stressed and they often will sit beside you and cuddle you at such times. My lovely mum, died in April 2023 and I think Stevie just couldnโ€™t understand what had happened to his companion. He would at first stay behind when we came home, hoping and thinking I think, that she would be coming behind us, he would often sit on the doorstep waiting for her. He would go looking through the house, at first, thinking she must be somewhere. They say that pets quite often exhibit this kind of behaviour as they just donโ€™t understand, quite reasonably why someone in the family isnโ€™t coming home again ๐Ÿ’”

Stevie, last September 2023 started becoming unwell and we took him to the vets, and they said quite a few teeth needed to be removed. That did seem to work, and he seemed quite well, but about a year later, he again seemed a bit under the weather and we took him quite a few times to the vets but in fact each visit actually seemed to make him worse. Within a month he really had gone from being quite an active cat, jumping up on chairs and tables and beds to being really disabled, it was incredibly sad to see him like that and me and my dad would take it in turns to sit at home with him, and try and feed him and make him as comfortable as we could but on Sunday the 1st of December in the early hours of the morning his body gave up and he died in my arms.

On Sunday the 15th of December, my dad and me travelled by bus and train and went to Battersea Cat home to see if we could get a rescue cat. We had seen Pabloโ€™s details on their Cat Gallery and knew quite a bit about his character before we met him. Nothing can replace our lovely Stevie, but the house felt very empty, and we thought we could give a rescue cat a loving home. So, we met Pablo and brought him home with us, he is very sweet, his date of Birth is the 25th of March 2024, so he is 10 months old now. He has to stay in a month, so that he will not become disorientated and get lost when we let him explore outside, but he is getting quite bored and doesnโ€™t seem too interested in the toys we try (he seems to have quite a limited attention span ๐Ÿฅฐ ๐Ÿค”) and tempt him with, but he does love sitting by the window watching the birds!

So, this Christmas my dad and me, stayed home and had a quiet but lovely and peaceful Christmas with Pablo. We did a little gardening and cycled round the park. I couldnโ€™t think what to cook as I try and make our meals as nutritious and healthy as possible & although I am a veggie, my dad isnโ€™t, but even a Turkey leg would have been stupidly big, but just a day or two before Christmas day we enjoyed watching Jamie Oliver on TV together, making a Brussel Sprout and Chestnut pie. It looked great so I made that and also roast chicken for Bruce and roast aubergines and potatoes for the 2 of us. Lots of our kind client friends, colleagues and neighbours had sent us cards and presents, it was lovely to see all the cards and to open a few presents on Christmas Day. We felt loved and I think it gave me and my dad some much-needed solace after losing my lovely mum, Hedda and Stevie in these last 2 years. Some lovely clients had even given us homemade Christmas chutneys from their allotment and a little bottle of lovely beer which we had with our lunch.

I donโ€™t know what the new Year will bring, but I hope we will stay busy as our office, our clients and our work are a great solace to us and last year was good, business wise & interesting. We have worked hard and made as many savings as we could. We managed to get through Covid and the years of relentless refunds and have pretty much paid off the government loan now and our bank balance is healthy. We have made lots of changes in our personal lives as well, as the saying goes, what doesnโ€™t kill you, makes you stronger...

We wish all our lovely client friends, a happy, magical and peaceful 2025.

Hope you all have a magical Christmas and New Year. Season's Greetings to you all!! ๐Ÿฅฐโค๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿฅฐโค
