I have just arrived back in Brum a week-and-a-bit of jet setting and very happy I am too. It’s nice to see the old place again and to be reminded of what my flat looks like!

Hong Kong was fascinating and I will post more about the trip soon. The people I met were fantastic and I really enjoyed my week there, although I perhaps wouldn’t rate Hong Kong amongst my favourite cities.

The skyscrapers are imposing and relentless for those more used to low-rise living. There is constant noise, lights, pollution and clamour and nothing ever seems to sleep.

As I have said elsewhere, the experience felt like being hit with a sledgehammer… repeatedly.
