Homeward bound.

To say it’s been a stressful and uncertain week would be an understatement. Watching the news about Coronavirus unfold up close in real time has been a surreal experience. It’s so hard to sort the fact from the fiction and to get a sense of how things are likely to develop.

We’ve been inside 24 hours a day bar a couple of trips to the shops for a week now. mostly because of Coronavirus but also as the air pollution has been absolutely terrible for the whole week. It’s been a bit of a struggle to keep everyone entertained.

When one tablet won’t crack the boredom.. try two!!

And if THAT doesn’t work get creative!
Here is Ezra doing some Sudocream play!!!

The kids school has been instructed to close for two additional weeks after Spring Festival. Emma can work from London so we’ve decided to head home for a few weeks and observe how things develop from a critical distance! As we have tenants in our house we will be staying at Emma’s parents for the time being.

We’re gutted to be leaving Beijing and are praying that we will be able to return as soon as possible. If that’s possible then great. And if not, I think we’ll be pleased that we left when we did.
