Hiking alone
While I love hiking with friends, hiking alone has it’s own set of pleasures. So this morning I decided to set off for a hike all by myself. I started off on a much-trodden trail going up to the highest point of Hong Kong island – The Peak. I was planning to go up… {Read More}

Happy in Happy Valley
This post was featured on The HK Hub, a one-stop site for expats in Hong Kong on May 4, 2013. http://thehkhub.com/i-live-here/explore/happy-in-happy-valley/ Early one Saturday morning, desperate for an extra bit of wink time (late night celebrations for his recent rugby victory), my husband delegated the task of taking my son for his football practice to me.

Last Sunday I happened to be at a mini-rugby festival in Hong Kong. My elder son who has just started playing rugby was participating and we were all very excited to watch him play.
