Well - it's been a bit quiet of late... and that's partly due to the joy of having a new baby (who recently turned a huge 10 months old) - and partly because life's priorities have changed. More recently it's been because I have been away. Yes - returning for our 9th trip to Japan in 10 years. And this was one to remember - though I will post about the trip in my companion blog (www.JapaneseTies.blogspot.com) eventually....
The big news I guess is that whilst away I found myself in the rather unusual situation of getting a job on my holiday. To be fair, it was a job I had applied for prior to my holiday - but was actually interviewed on my travels, and found out the result whilst in Japan. And, as it turned out, I was successful. And where, pray tell, is my new job? Why of course - in Japan. And not just anywhere - but in Tokyo - one of the world's busiest and most amazing of cities in the world. So in about 3 - 4 months, a very different chapter in our family story will begin, and we will find ourselves living in Japan. I'm not sure how much time I will have to blog - but I hope to share at least some of the journey.
In the mean time, I hope you all had a great Christmas and a very Happy New Year... and that 2013 will bring many happy surprises to you all!
