Sounds really nice where you are, it's cold, wet & grey..... typical UK
winter here. Now all i have to say is Bah Humbug & that'll be Xmas over with
this year. Next roll out the large earthen pots & dig out the precious
ingredients hidden in the back of our cupboards & CNY (on the 22nd Jan) will
be the one i'm really looking forward to.
