Merry Christmas Everyone

Well I do hope that everyone who is reading this blog is having a great Christmas. I have been noticing tell-tale signs that it is Christmas ever since I reached Xi'An (in early November) and went into a Starbucks and heard Christmas jazz music playing! It increased dramatically in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Vietnam.

I would like to thank everybody who has made the effort to contact me over the last three months (by WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat, Skype, text, email, blog, FaceTime) it has been greatly appreciated and has helped to keep me positive at times when I have felt alone. To those who have not been in touch - shame on you! Make it your New Year's resolution to say 'Hi' to me sometime. I have particularly enjoyed people sending me pictures, voicemails and news from home (even Sue and Howard singing me a Christmas carol !!!)

Thank you - your continued contact and encouragement is the best Christmas present I could ask for.

Merry Christmas from:
