CHRISTMAS CHEER

22 December 2020 | San Sebastian
Robert Coates

Wow. Christmas is here again, but not as we would like it.
I am fortunate here to have freedom of movement (although at present not allowed to leave the island!) and in the last 2 months have met many lovely people of many nationalities, all with a unique story to tell in the present circumstances.

To all I know I send to you my sincere and best wishes for Christmas and the new year with hope that we may soon be able to look forward to better times and be free to see our families without restriction.

My thoughts are with my friends, family, all at the RCDW, YHQ the DT’s and of course my personal hair stylist, Kate whose help I need as much as crew to get back home. Also to Tony who has now substantially recovered from his accident last July and continues to make good progress. Keep it up Tony.

I look forward so much to seeing you all again, and hope my new year flights for Jan & Feb still go ahead!

In an act of sheer vanity today’s picture is a selfie of me so you don’t forget who I am. (I don’t mind if you take hard copies to put over the fireplace.)

Stay well everyone, keep safe and have a great zoom, FaceTime and WhatsApp Christmas.

Roberto, Rob, Bob
