For those of you you who were expecting to catch up with me in the UK, I've had to call my UK trip off this year, trying to organize it has been a nightmare with so many things that just keep going wrong, so maybe that's a message, maybe this year it is not meant to be, so i will start to plan for 2014, so for this year I'll be staying put, in Hong Kong, still plenty to keep me out of trouble here..
Hope to see some of you in 2014, or maybe some of you in Honkers.
Regards to All
Colin
