Usually Bank holidays are just another day for us , we never bother to do anything special as everyone else does !

This Bank holiday though , as Geoff had all his family with him, and that’s a rare occurrence, we decided we should all do something.

So much to my delight it was suggested that we went Punting on the River Cam.

We had to have one of the large punts because 6 adults and 2 children would just not fit into a normal size punt .

It was so lovely to go along the Backs as its called and see all 7 of the colleges from the river.

I especially liked all the bridges

A great way to spend a few lovely hours, such a shame that my boys were not with us too as they would have loved it but there is always next year

That’s how many days it is till I fly out to Beijing with Geoff.

I will be staying for 4 whole weeks, Geoff will be doing Nepal, Tibet and India before returning home on 17th December.

Busy making lists at the moment of all the things we would like to do and see.

Xian is on the list to see the Terracotta Warriors and Mt Huashan looks interesting

Guilin looks another interesting place with the Li River to trek along.

First though we shall be walking with the Beijing Hikers a walking Group I stumbled on while perusing the Internet.

They do an organized walk every Saturday Sunday and Wednesday so we have booked ourselves on this walk for 18th September

Of course we also plan to walk some of the Great Wall too along with trips to a Pearl factory and Silk factory.

Its going to be an amazing 4 weeks

Geoff has been desperate to get his hands on my kitchen wall for quite some time now.

About 3 years ago he told me that my house would be transformed if I let him knock the wall down that divided the kitchen and dinning room.

At the time I thought I would never get permission from my housing association so did nothing about it.

Periodically Geoff bought the subject up, still I did nothing BUT then a few months ago for some reason right out the blue I asked permission.

To my amazement they said YES

So on and off during the past week Geoff has been busy , with a little help from me,transforming my kitchen.

I thought it would be a huge job but Geoff made it all look so easy and the end results are magnificent.

Never ever did I expect to have such a lovely kitchen/dinning room

Just hope he knows how much its appreciated , that’s another million Massages I owe him
