It’s hard to believe the first week of the year is already over. Oscar still has a couple of days off before heading back to school but Alicia and I are both back to work tomorrow.
We celebrated the new year by making 饺子 (jiǎo zǐ). This has become something of a tradition for us after making them with Alicia’s family on our first new year together in China.
The week has been remarkably social. We had my parents over on new years day, bumped into an old school friend and his family in the London Wetland Centre the next, went to a bubble show with friends and their family. Given we spend most of the year on autopilot, it has been really nice to spend time with others.
Evenings by the fire have been occupied by light admin. I’ve done some budgeting for the start of the year, responded to messages received over the festive period and we’ve booked our trip to China for Easter. We still can’t make up our minds about Barcelona over half term.
Photos selected because they remind me how lucky we are to have access to such beautiful scenery in the heart of London.
