Wine and Cheese, Sth Aust meets Sthn China

My Doc Adams birthday wine a Pinot Gris - Cheers

Jeannerette's Wild China Charity Challenge wine -where Jen reminded me my interest in this country actually started! Cheers to Meg and Luke - happily blaming you!

Balcony picture, Jen and Deb feasting and watching the spectacle of traffic miraculously avoiding each other and clearly avoiding any road symbols such as double yellow lines, arrows, zebra crossings, overtaking at whim....weaving, guessing,hoping,praying and for us 19 floors up... laughing a lot even before the wine was consumed.

Wines and cheese from home on my Chinese balcony! With two great friends what more can I ask for? The fact that the wine and cheese is from home accompanied by home made relishes and a range of other suprises as belated birthday presents - thanks to you for your lovely thoughts.

Maggie Beer, Doc Adams, Sandi's Quince Paste just for a start! Yummy.

Jen and Deb arrived safely in HK, spent a few days holidaying then I joined them and we spent the time in HK at an interesting Cheap but not too nasty Guesthouse... and the day at Stanley Beach and bus hopping..all good fun, finishing up at Ned Kelly's to meet Colin and I will be back soon to chat to him as he was just a bit busy with the band...next trip to HK.

I'll keep you posted on the fun we have over the next few days in between my teaching and what has become routine for me in the last 4 months....stay tuned.
