3 Happy New Year to my Chinese readers! We always have a Chinese meal to celebrate, often with friends but tonight just the two of us so instead of a banquet, it was a simple Vegetable and Cashew stir-fry. The lovely Mr S inherited these beautiful and very delicate rice bowls from an Aunt and we love to use them. Over the years we have become quite proficient with chopsticks.

For those who asked, yesterday’s concert was brilliant! The audience were kind, we had fun and we raised £600 for The Poly.

Crocuses? Crocuses! Those are Crocuses. We were the lucky recipients of 30 centimeters of snow the other day, so Crocuses are out of sight and out of mind.
No snakes here, I understand completely. I have a strict ‘NO BROCCOLI POST’ policy at my place.

I wish we could have 30cms of snow! I know that’s daft but I so love what it looks and feels like and how it absorbs all sound so that there is that special snow-hush.
Sorry about today’s broccoli!

I’ll try to forewarn you if a snake post shows it’s head.

There’ll never be a snake on my blog! Of all the things in the universe, snakes are the things I abhor! 🙂
