Please be patient with me as I am not great at blogging! Following blogs, I have discovered is very different from creating one.
The aim is that we will use this site when we are in China, I have been told that there are no restrictions and everything should be fine. I thought that using the blog will allow parent/careers, friends and family to leave messages whilst we are away.
The site may change a bit over the next few days, so please be patient!
Over the next few days I will post everything you need to know in preparation for the trip.
