The theory is to leave Mexico every 180 days to maintain a somewhat legal status in my little piece of paradise. I had only left in September but my Mum graciously offered to pay for my fare to Toronto for Christmas. How could I possibly say no? Now the frantic push to find someone to stay at my place to look after Seven and Stella. After much fretting, a friend who frequents Tepoztlan in the winter months needed a place to stay, so it all worked out. Seven of course questioned my actions, Stella was indifferent as she was busy chasing mice and getting cuddles from another visitor or trying to get Seven to play!

The pictures will tell the story. It was a whirlwind visit but so glad I went. Cannot beat family.
