Chinese New Year: the year of the ox











If you are an ox you are
Loyal patient and dependable
Most compatible with a snake rooster or a rat
Could become a brilliant surgeon, general or hairdresser

Each year we learn something new. This year we enjoyed a whole fish remembering to leave some over (a symbol of abundance). On the eve of the New Year we vistied Linda, Sven and Anna’s home and enjoyed dumplings, noodles (for long life) and another whole fish. Our favourite festival-the Tianjin Kite festival at Royal Park-was again a lot of fun, with lanterns, kites and face painting. Nana, O and Chloe came along to enjoy the picnic.
