Hello to all my friends and season's greetings.

I would just like to share with you that I have had an early Christmas present. My wife and my one year old son came to live with me here is Shanghai in the middle of November and last friday they had to return because of our farm commitments in Phils. But I have just had some fantastic news.
My beautiful wife and I are now expecting our second baby. If our calculations are correct, we will hear the patter of little Fil/Brit feet at the end of July~early August. This has truely been the most fantastic news I could have received for Christmas and we are both so excited. This time we would love to have a daughter, but as long as the baby is healthy and strong we are happy.

Anyway, thats my news,

May I take this oppertunity to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a prosporous New Year from a cold and wet China.
