Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!
The sound of New Year!
Chinese New Year went off with a spectacular bang in Hong Kong and many rabbits attended - they even appeared in the fireworks display!
Arrived home this week to a huge pile of 'to do' lists. Still suffering from rather bad jet lag - time travel is difficult as NZ is 5 hours ahead of HK, so we are now in the future! We had a great time but its good to be home :)
Lai See
This Chinese New Year, Lady Gelato made it onto the official 'red pocket' or 'Lai See' for Holly Brown! There are a limited edition being given away on Holly Browns facebook site.
Where oh where
Well 2011 has started in a haze of busyness! We are back in Hong Kong working with Holly Brown once more - which means more lovely coffee and delicious gelato! Over the next few weeks in the lead up to Chinese New Year we are helping to launch another cafe this time on the Kowloon side of the water at the K11 Art Mall. Unfortunately I seem to always get a nasty flu every time I visit so I have spent a great deal of time sick in bed :(
In moments of wellness we made a very quick trip to China - 'Shunde' to be precise - which is a industrial port area known for the manufactory of all sorts of furniture. China reminded me very much of landscapes I had seen in thailand - same dusty roads and seat belt-less taxis.

2011
Happy New Year everyone!! This picture was taken one sunny blue day while on holiday on the east coast of New Zealand.
It was a lovely holiday break but now its time to get cracking on the exciting things ahead for this year! :)
