But before I do Doha here's a few pics from my time in the Emirates...

Christmas Dinner - not just for Christmas

Christmas dinner in June.

Do you really need a reason?

A basket with a view!

A baloon ride over the Emirates at 5 am. Feels equally as rough getting up at 3.30 am as it does going to bed at that time!

Size matters

It was a little bit scarry up there but absolutely fantastic!

A touch of culture in the afternoon

A bit of culture - Swan Lake at The Emirates Palace Hotel with Sarah & Jon.

He never looks like this - honest.

What's wrong Steve? No more beer?

In a previous career...

Before Steve became an engineer...

Possession

It's that devil drink! Looks like her head might spin 180. Got to stop taking Ally to the pub.

Obligitory wedding pictures.

My niece

How georgeous is this little one. Her name is Kiera and she is my niece.

So who's behind Onslow?

She dances beautifully!

Name that dance!

The Emirates Effect

Several years and several kilos earlier.
