Welcome back readers

After a long gap, I am returning to blogging! John is in China for a 2nd stint which continues until February, whilst Chloe is in 1st year studies at Sheffield Hallam. The weather today is wet and dreary and badminton was cancelled. However on the good news front I have spoken to my badminton friend John, who is home after a big operation and doing well. Hectic and busy at the coal face after a week at an exhibition. Photo of me and Michelin man to follow!
