Oh to be in Blighty

Hi blog world and bloggers in general (and blog readers), I like to always start my blogs like that as I like to think there is a whole community out there that I am interacting with and I like to always be polite. I live in China, and have been for five years now, and I have to say I long to be in England and with my family, I visit them quite a lot but this was only meant to be a temporary contract. Don’t get me wrong I love China – no really I do, and indeed the Chinese citizens but I am working out here and I don’t get to see my family a great deal. It is so very different here and I long to be back in my family home with a traditional Sunday lunch and a few beers down the local pub – oh how I miss that pub – Saturday afternoons with a pint and the football – can’t b beat. I can’t stress enough that the Chinese are brilliant so polite and friendly and they really will do anything for you and of course the country is so beautiful. I ease the home sickness by ordering British food online from back home for the British Online Supermarket web site. It is truly great and I would recommend them always, you can buy British food and get it sent all round the world, keep up the good work guys – blooming brilliant.

Climbing Frames are a life saver!

I am a very excitable person, one of those potentially annoying people at functions that are always smiling and saying how life is so good and you don’t need to get drunk to have a good time and I’ll admit it I annoy myself sometimes. But at least I know that I am quite annoying and I feel I am not that bad (Hopefully). I love the summer months and as it is now very close (if not here some days) I was thinking about the children and what to do with them over school summer holidays. I do love having them about but things are pretty tight, moneywise, now the recession is here, we have a lovely house with a big garden (sorry doesn’t sound like we are broke does it!)And I though this year we would try and have as much fun with the kids as possible without spending loads of money on days out. After much thinking I decided to get a climbing frame or trampoline or a play system (which incorporates the two) I decided to buy something in that ballpark and started my search for play systems, trampolines or climbing frames online and found some great sites – I was especially impressed with Rainbow Play Systems who seem to have a large range and selection and you can view and read all about them online. We have now opted for and ordered one of the play systems featured on their site, we are all now excited and looking forward to a long hot family summer.
