Smashing photo's and a nice read. Tangoed had me in fits of laughter, sorry Mao but it was too funny!

Thank you for helping us visit Mao. He was being "restored" when we tried to see him. Loved the revisit to the summer palace.

Missing my big brother!!! You look like you are still having a great time. I have a stinking cold ! It's rainy here. Miss ya xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well I was relaxed by the end of this episode. Very Interesting boy and glad to see that you are looking after yourself.

How interesting. I've never heard of a blind massage. I did have a couple of foot massages. They were both an outing with friends. We were in the same room with a TV. We started with soaking our feet in a bucket just like you. When I got my hair cut I had wonderful shoulder and head massages, too. I miss that about China.

Stunning!

Wonderful blog, Leighton. And the pictures----wow!! Thanks.

Really cool pictures!

Wow! Leighton, a fabulous episode. Beautiful photo's! I miss you both so much. x

Good to hear about Easy English. You both are certainly getting a lot of experience handing challenges in the classroom. The age range of students Silvie has to teach is incredible. AND, that burping and farting thing---well, I'd be liable to have it out with the child!! Very interesting blog, Leighton. Hang in there Silvie.

Hey Silvie, Well done for sticking it out. The children are adorable and they are lucky to have you.

Great to read it is "Lasagne and Chilli" for this blog ...Rover is sooo pleased!!!!

So good about the flower's, sadly here the weather is delaying or destroying my display.... where has our spring gone in the UK.

But, as long as the sunshine's on you both...that's "blossom" enough.

Love and Hugs Terry (Dolley) xxx
