Happy New Year !

Here's wishing you all a good measure of health and happiness for the coming year.

We are safely home after an amazing ten days in Hong Kong. More of that later. We heard about the earthquake and after- shocks which occurred in Canterbury on Boxing day so were pleased to arrive home and find no damage here. Twelve more homes unlivable in Christchurch and lots of broken sewerage and water pipes so , once more, we have been fortunate.

I was interested to read all about the snow . Fortunately, our daughter had arranged for her three children in the U.K. to leave school two days early. This enabled them to get flights out before the second, predicted, heavy snow fall. A lot of their friends in H.K. didn't do that and they had some very anxious days, trying to locate their travelling children and house them near to the main airports so that they could take flights when and if they became available..

The weather in H.K. was very mild and comfortable. We had a great time with the family. They certainly live a very privileged life style and it was nice to enjoy the benefits of that ! Good to be back to the reality of our own lives though and, having said that, I must go and finish the unpacking and do some washing....
