W H E R E W E ’ V E B E E N . . . VENICE It’s 8am and I am at Gatwick airport getting ready to board a flight with no idea where I am going. Without my knowledge my partner and family had been in cahoots to arrange a surprise break for my 30th birthday. Unbeknown to me, my partner had contacted my lovely work colleagues, arranged for me to have time off work, and booked a lovely short trip away. Unfortunately, I eventually had to be told that I was being whisked away as my unsuspecting clients needed to know that I would not be in the office but the destination still remained under close wraps - from me at least! 62
