I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately so I thought I’d post an update so all my regular readers – hello mum and dad! – don’t get worried.
I’m actually in China at the moment, which is a fascinating and crazy place but one which has a bit of an issue with social media…so no Facebook or Twitter. WordPress, surprisingly, is permitted, but I am too busy to blog. When I get back, however, I’m going to take this site off topic for a few posts and share some of my experiences with you. But for fans of my regular rants about Perth, don’t fret – normal service will no doubt be resumed at some point!
* I am actually still in the same time zone as Perth so this heading isn’t terribly accurate but you know what I mean…




Hey Val,
Hope you and S are having brill time in China, and most importantly that you’ve bought loads of clothes!
Does being away from the UK/ Colonies mean you have escaped the omnipresence of The Event?!
You are definitely in the right place, esp since here the snow has just melted – still using those fluffy purple socks!
Love and Britishness
Anne xx
Hi Anne
No clothes yet (apart from a £10 hoodie on my first day after a panic that I might be chilly) but Hong Kong is still to come!
The Event has reached even here, I’m afraid. I saw someone reading Hello! with a picture of The Happy Couple on the front at a railway station the other day. And we’ve all been online to check out the dress, of course.
Hot and humid in Yangshuo today. Seems I am destined to never be cold again.
