T minus 2 days till we take our first flight. So we haven’t gone far, probably less than 2 kilometres but it feels like another planet. Seeing Grosvenor House from the other side – as guests for our final two nights in Dubai is amazing and just what we need. Thank you to Pam and the team for everything!

So far we’ve tuned into Wimbledon (come on Nadal!!) and the Tour de France, played a few rounds of uno and come to the pool….definitely in holiday mode after a few busy days sorting packing and clearing ‘Hotel Egerton’.

Bring on some final meals and final goodbyes to friends who have become family.
