LIFE WHILE IN CHINA HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!
DID YOU SEE THE NEW YEAR IN? DAD & I CRASHED OUT AT 8PM!! I DID'NT EVEN HEAR THE FIREWORKS GO OFF AT MIDNIGHT!!
LIFE WHILE IN CHINA THANK YOU BOTH FOR A GREAT TIME. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE YOU & THE BOYS. HOW MATTHEW HAS SHOT UP ( HE IS CATCHING ANDY UP FAST.) AS FOR WILLIAM, WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY. WHEN WE LAST SAW HIM HE COULD ONLY STRING A COUPLE OF WORDS TOGETHER, NOW LOOK AT HIM, HE CAN TALK FOR ENGLAND!! MISSING YOU ALREADY XX
Happy Birthday What a wonderful time you had William. I love all the pictures. I think all the children will remember your party. Mummy seems to have really enjoyed it too. Have a great time with Nanny and Grandad and I hope you will find something good to buy with your birthday money. Love from Nanny Sylvia xx
How lovely Well done Lindsay - you have certainly given the boys a wonderful summer. It won't be long now before your parents arrive.No doubt you will make some plans between you so that they too have a marvelous time. I am very glad that Matthew has returned to school happily and has found some of his old friends again. I'm sure he will go from strength to strength. Your photos are delightful. It is great to see them. I am hoping to get some money to Dartford for William's birthday and the boys' Christmas. Of course I will send cards again as the first ones did arrive. How is the Chinese language getting on? Enjoy your jewellery making. 'Mummy time' must be great after so long! Love to you all from Mum O.
Back to school! The summer holidays are a little longer out here than schools back in UK so wanted to make sure boys had plenty to do......."I'm bored" is banned from this home!!! I am pleased to have found many new places. And our trip was amazing!! I am happy that my jewellery making has gone well, I am very impressed with myself!!! I am still having Chinese lessons, I don't know what I would do with out my Helen!! She has become a great friend. I have also just started yoga class with my teacher.......it's interesting to say the least and I end up in giggles as my body is not as flexible as others!! Matthew and William now speak Chinese!! I can not believe William is going to turn 3 soon.....where has the time gone? Matthew is starting after school clubs from next week and for this term he is having swimming lessons for his PE class. I am helping out with this class - the teacher needs all the help she can get!! It is so nice to see the teachers get in the water and show the children how to do it rather than standing on the side like most classes back in England. Hope all is good back home with you. I have lots planned for mum and dad they will need another holiday to get over this one!!! The boys are also going to have a sleep over with nanny and granddad so mummy and daddy can have a night out!!!
Swimmer without a pool. Would it be possible to find out where the pool is? I live in TEDA and have been looking for a swimming pool, but can't find one besides the Renaissance Hotel.
Teda Swimming pool Hi, this is the best pool that I have found so far! It is next to Decathlon and opens 8am to 10pm I think. Let me know how you get on!!
Amazing What a good find!! .It seems there are many good things and places near you to enjoy. I am so pleased for you. Does William like swimming yet? The big play area sounds great too. Good luck with the chinese writing - it is definitely an art form. I wonder if it is possible to 'spell' something wrongly, or do you risk writing a wrong word or phrase if it is not exactly correct? Enjoy it all. Love Nanny Sylvia.xxx
LIFE WHILE IN CHINA I saw the spider, made me jump !! It all looks great fun. You are right ,dad will need a money tree !!
It amazes me, a giant swimming pool, but where are all the people? you'd think it would be full !
What fun! I like your blog Matthew! The cable car sounds scary... I would NOT go on that although the slide down sounds much more fun.... Connor would love it! It sounds like your all having a super time.... glad your toys have arrived!! X
Shopping!!! Lisa, you would love the shopping Malls here!!!!! Lee would have to get a 2nd job but you would have so much fun!!!!! You would be in bag and shoe heaven!!!!!
Hi, my name is Lindsay and I am from England. I am living as an expat in Teda, about an hours drive from Tianjin China. I am here with my husband Andy and our 2 boys, Matthew who is 7 and William who is 2. We moved here in Feb 2014 and we are hoping for many adventures and to see lots of great things China has to offer! Here's our story...........enjoy!
