Winter Wonderland

Well it is, isn’t it?

But this means a lot – this was the soundtrack to walking towards immigration in Hong Kong Airport just after Christmas last year, brimming with the anticipation of seeing no 2 son and his girlfriend for the first time in ages.

Everything was so spacious and glossy and just terrifically exciting (Lord Foster’s design, after all) with escalators that seemed to go on and on, that this will always be associated with the thrill of it all.

Not to mention the thrill of glimpsing the two of them at the front of the barrier, catching sight of us, smiling and waving like lunatics…

Son no 2 will soon be on his way to us this time.  For anyone travelling this Christmas, safe journey and much happiness.
