Holidays

Wow, it's been a while since I posted anything. Summer was hectic but fun. Here's a snapshot of what I got up to:

1. Graduation 12/7/07

We had a fun day; the ceremony was traditional but relaxed. My Pop (granddad) made it over for the day which was great, and I particularly loved swooping around in my gown!
Being hooded as part of the ceremony
With the folks
With Auntie Sue (who lives in Ncl) and Pop (who is not Ian McKellan, as some others have thought!)
Not much explanation needed really!


2. Then we went off to China to visit my sister (Suzanne) and her boyfriend (Mike) who live there. We had an amazing time - didn't do a whole lot apart from chill out, catch up and a bit of culture (ha, 3 alliterated points - I should be a minister!)

The Wall:

Hong Kong and Macau - we went for a week of ultimate relaxing (and even shared a hotel with some premiership football players!):
Hong Kong Conference Centre - our hotel was right behind this so we had a great view :)
Lawrie Sanchez - former Northern Ireland Football Manager, now manager of Fulham - at our pool!
Reading Harry Potter by the pool in Macau - it was tough


Our hotel in Macau - view from my lounger


Visiting the casinos......but only for dinner!
Random selection:

In Tiananmen Square

View down from Suzanne's 31st floor apartment. Bottom right, if you can make it out, that's my parents sitting in the garden swing!
Church! Beijing International Christian Fellowship to be precise. Foreign Passport Holders only


Ok, that's all for now - will finish the rest of the summer in the next post :)
