Good luck in Blighty, I know that there is no such thing as a permanent 're-pat', just as there is rarely such a thing as a permanent 'expat', but I hope that when you do go back overseas it is at a time of your choosing and not a moment before!

Hope you enjoy a great new year. Please keep writing about China! I live in Shanghai but grew up in Lowestoft, so it warms my heart to see that particular leaden grey of the English channel.

A book might emerge from the computer presumably ensconced in the vicinity of that window? Bests Jay Hi Rob,

China's not the right place for good, honest men like ourselves anyway. Does this mean you're dressing in hounds-tooth hunting coats and khakis now? What a lovely view!

No, John, it's not Souhwold but you're on the right track. It's Hunstanton in north Norfolk, so still East Anglia. I thought you'd like the picture, Joyce, since you had expressed such great concern in the previous post. You'll be glad to know that my living room has three floor-to-ceiling double windows like this one and, although the photograph doesn't show it, the flat has <i>plenty</i> of light.

Stone walls on old houses, a clear sky, and the sea. I lived in England once, for 6 months. People told me I was crazy to have gone during the winter months. (I was there October to March). But I loved it so much. Much luck on your new home. Oh, how lovely. Stone walls on old houses, a clear sky, and the sea.
