I don’t know how many people this week on various social timelines are counting down to Christmas already and I find that scary seeing as my weeks fly by way too quickly. The only thing I am glad about right now is that it is Friday and that means lie in in the morning and hopefully finish off my book Gone Girl. Have you read it? I’m so near to the end but an online chat earlier this week tells me I may not like the ending. Don’t tell me. I will have found out by Monday.
This week saw the WTM, the massive Travel Trade show in Excel London, for me it brings back some happy and incredibly busy memories as I used to work at the Italian Tourist Board and it was one of our biggest events throughout the year. I can’t tell you how happy I was to catch up with old colleagues, drink a glass of wine with them and even have lunch!
If you are interested in travel blogging I’d thoroughly recommend a visit next year, you can pick up brochures and information, get hold of images and contacts and basically tour the world as you make your way around the stands.
Visit Flanders won best stand of the year 2014 and they had an amazing chocolate display to celebrate the centenary of World War One, they even gave out chocolates! Here’s to Remembrance Sunday this weekend.
My Best Post of The Week was all about a dream – Mexico! I wrote down my dream holiday and boy I haven’t stopped thinking about it all week, anyway, makes for sunnier times in this cold climate. do you have a dream? Add your #MBPW to the Linky below and have a wonderful weekend.

That chocolate display looks amazing! I know what you mean about hearing about Christmas everywhere - am feeling quite disorganised as not started to think about it yet!
