But I did manage to stretch it over four months.

Started in May at the Cannes Film Festival and went through June, July, August and September - with several return visits to London, leaving the car over there.

The hit of this summer was St Moritz - last year it was Venice.

Glorious times in Tunisia, Germany, Italy, Morocco and France as well as Switzerland.

Weather started bad in May but swiftly became non stop sunshine - even September with Condoleezza Rice (check out the video).

Now it's back to work!
