I’m long back from our fabulous trip to Hong Kong and I am now back in the land of the living after a couple of weeks of terrible family coughs and colds along with our internet drought. It was so lovely to come back to the girls but I think my mother in law was even more pleased to see…

The reason for my absence is that I have been without internet for the past ten days. Yes ten whole days without the internet ladies and gentlemen! No checking the dozens of blogs that I…
