All over the world people are gearing up for Rutland. The annual British Birdwatching Fair takes place next weekend - Friday, Saturday and Sunday and, once again, there will be an opportunity to catch up with friends and acquaintances from all over the world. I love it!
This year will be very different for me because, for the first time in 21 years, Island Holidays won't have an exhibition stand. It was a difficult decision but the time had come and so now I'm looking forward to seeing the other side of the fair - going to lectures and events, stopping to chat without looking over my shoulder with guilt that I should be back on the stand and all those things.
Of course we've still got lots of wonderful holidays to offer, some birdwatching (notably Cuba) and others more general. Crete and Iceland will both be back in our programme after a year's "miss".
Oh - one more piece of news. We're planning to charter a 34-passenger sailing/motor ship to visit the Scottish Islands, including Foula and St Kilda next May. Several people have already booked, taking advantage of the offer of 5% off if you book beefore 1st September).
Hey - this is turning into an advertisement not a blog. It's just that I'm really excited about all these things and so looking forward to my first Bird Fair as a visitor.
