'Self made' Xmas in Riyadh... not easy in a Muslim country!








Arriving back a week before Xmas wasn't easy.. and to discover I had very little sight in one eye (surgery to come later!) although at this stage I had decided it 'would fix itself' before learning the retina had detached itself for no apparent reason.

Xmas in the apartments was kinda fun.. we had some 'moonshine', ovens that didn't work so cooking the turkey took 12 hours - ready to eat at midnight!! ... but we got creative and made the most of it.
