Merry Christmas, Cedric, and heart felt seasonтАЩs greetings to you.
I have put Puccini on, and opened a fine bottle of NZ Sauvignon Blanc to mark your return to the home of us, Africa. I have lit candles from the Galilee, and I have flavoured my home with the scent of the Banda islandsтАЩ; nutmeg and mace. I wish you glad tidings this holiday season, as you prepare to leave Hong Kong to fly far away to home.
It is summer here, a poor summer, but summer nevertheless. The days are long and the sky today was a rich clear blue, the light so bright I had to go indoors. I was surrounded by green hills of memory, with stands of pine and groves of Totara, Rimu and Kahikatea, and long blades of grass, warmed in the shinning sun, tossed in the gentle breeze like a young girlтАЩs hair. Seagulls were idling overhead riding the warm updrafts, and Pohutukawa, with rich crimson flowers and new leaves of silver, framed the infinite turquoise of the endless Pacific sea.
When you are in Kenya, can you do us all one small favour for Christmas? Plant an acacia tree and name it Thailand.
Thanks.
