Today we came to my sister-in-laws house in Mungyeong for the weekend. It’s a little slice of paradise here. Their garden is full of twisty pine trees and various colourful flowers as well as ponds with hopping frogs. I love wandering around the garden. There’s a foot spa cafe too which is very nice to relax in.

Tonight there will be merriment as it’s my brother-in-laws 70th birthday celebration, and we’ll be having a little party. Just family. I love getting together with everyone here, but it’s always a touch bittersweet as I can’t see my own family easily. We are spread over the globe and it’s hard to get together. I miss them so much.
