.....We had to go to sort out our visas, as we are going to China in less than 2 weeks, now we have applied, we go back up to Manchester next week to get our passports and tickets back, and hopefully to collect the visas too. We had problems because we were staying with Charlotte rather than in a hotel, and we had to have reservations booked or be invited by a Chinese citizen who is a permanent resident- not there on a working visa like Charlotte is. We could stay with Charlotte, but only if we had an invitation to stay from the owner of her appartments-of course we didn't have that either! So Darsh had to contact our travel agent to book a hotel, and then find a branch of his company in Manchester who would give us printed details of our reservations, for us to hand in to the Chinese embassy. So be warned, any of you who are planning a visit to her, the Chinese paperwork really is something else!!!!
Now back home- just doing the housework, I sorted and ironed my whole summer wardrobe to see what was going on holiday, either with me or via the charity shop, and my winter stuff is off into the loft. So of course the good weather has broken, today is definately much cooler and the kids have finished school for Easter today so we can expect Winter to return with a vengeance.
Definately not a snap from today, and I had got a big box of bargain Violas from Morrisons that I was planning to plant out in the garden this afternoon, but the sun is only managing to appear for a few minutes at a time. So inside jobs it is then...
