Why? Well its been an active and hectic year for our little clan.
- After 6 months of more of noise, dust and muscle ache our house upgrades are all but completed and we are fully installed within.
- New wooden flooring for the bedrooms
- A complete enclosure of the frontage to the house to give us a super living area with a stone and marble floor and 270 degrees of glazing or sliding door openings
- A rebuild of one of the piggeries into a utility / laundry / storeroom
- We have invested in a boat, "The Edna May", to get back and forth to Mui Wo in.
- A 21 foot fibreglass hull with a spanking new outboard
- We have invested in a small but very pretty sail boat, "Sapphira", to cruise about in.
- A Cape Carib 33 sloop built here in Hong Kong in 1975
- We have slowly come to accept that broadband internet is a thing of the past and we will have to just get used to the wandering reliability of telephone data.
- We have survived the biggest storm on record, even if it did mean we were without electricity for a few days
