Michael's visit



Just a quick mid-week blog. Michael and his friend Lisa left today after spending 4 days with us in Suzhou. We had a good time showing them around. It was cold and rainy their first day here but thank goodness the sun came out for the rest of their time here.

On Saturday we headed out to Lion's Grove Garden, one of our favourite places in Suzhou.


Can you see James on top of the rocks? He is in his own world when we go to Lion's Grove. Climbing the rocks and exploring the caves. He loves it.
We did a little shopping afterward and Mark bought me a new teapot. Lisa bought a chinese chess set for her son. We also went to the tailor and Lisa had a dress suit made.
So, we really enjoyed having visitors. The kids didn't have school Wednesday, Thursday and Friday so we are back into the swing of things now and it will be go, go, go until Christmas.

This is my new teapot.

That's all for now. Will blog again on the weekend.
