A web site dedicated to Tom Harrington's family containing news, gossip and tales of the unexpected. Fun for all.
If everone adds a few lines of news and information - others will look at this site and it will spiral into a web log of the Harringtons!
It is so easy to add comments even I can do it.

I am fine - had a great trip to see some of the most beatiful river trip in China- so much so on of the view of the limestone hills we saw has been printed on the back of the 20 Yuan note - have a look phil - we looked at then note and then the view- exactly the same. We saw a few Cormorant fishermen m- U know where the birds are trained to fish and bring them back to the fisher man, I have been amazed when watching documentaries about this but to actually see them for real. The cormorants are trained as pets from young., They a have rings around their necks to prevent them from swallowing the big fish instead returning them to the fisher man for a reward of a smaller easier to swallow fish. See here
I am traveling with a English Chap and his Chinese girlfriend who I met on the train from Kunimning to Guilin as it is easer to book hotel rooms, trips, etc when there are 3 of us. And as she is Chinese she does the bartering. They are both a good laugh.
We will go bike riding tomorrow to see a bit more of the countryside around here. It’s a lovely place but is nothing like the proper china as there are lots of English speakers in the stalls, cafes etc and the main drag or western street as it is know is very contental in appearance with table and people out side.
I am going to spend a few days here and then go to back to Beijing to help Carin and see Abid (Rizwana’s brother). I am not going to the main attraction which I want to see = Xian which has lots of things to see plus the Terracotta Soldiers as I will save this for when Rizwana can come out here. And bring her here (Yang Shuo) on the way as it is something she would love.
OK folks back to the grindstone for the rest of you - its early evening now and I am of for a walk around town before a traditional Chinese vegetarian meal.
