BRITAIN'S GLORY?
Instead of looking back over 2009, we'll put our best foot forward to this year with great promise and anticipation. A year of hope & glory? Well, in sporting terms there's always optimism for achievement, especially The Six Nations (I'll not say who we'll be supporting!). Then there's The Open Championship, this July in St Andrews and of course the return of Schumacher battling it out against Brits Hamilton and Button, to get the F1 season off to a good start. Not to mention The World Cup we'll still be cheering north of The Border.
In financial terms, there's mixed opinion but for better rather than worse, and the same too for 6 May - a significant date in this year's calendar where probably the latter sentiment applies!
Whatever you do this year, make it a winner and celebrate success at The Knight Residence. Your formula for a championship welcome.
Sweet Nothings
M&S will tempt you again this year to woo your Valentine with their now famous 2 meals for £10 or you might choose your own recipe for love (check this out www2.sainsburys.co.uk/food/mealideas ). If it's not too late, whisk off to Edinburgh for a special treat. Whatever you do, remember to whisper Sweet Nothings without them there'll be no kiss to start! Go on, click here to get in the mood. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfJ-q0VFe_g and www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3pf7o-9OOk. PS. Remember the mints!

"Absolutely fantastic stay. This will be an annual experience and we will return with friends. Can't say enough about how pleased we are. We met folk in the city and the dilemma was, do we tell them about you or keep it secret? But it is too good not to tell everyone. I just hope you are not too busy to let us come back. Thanks a million!"
No, thank you Paul & Pat - see you soon.
