Welcome to the Chinese New Year of the Ox!
Well, I was born in 1973, so that makes me an ox by birth…I was going to say a cow but you’d have taken that completely the wrong way. The year of the Ox is usually a year of hard work and endeavour with new challenges for all. Sounds familiar huh? Oxen are,and I quote: “Born leaders who will work hard to achieve their aims. Dependable, good organisers and not easily influenced by others. Patient, loyal to their friends and expect loyalty in return. Tend to have lasting relationships.” (Actually that all rings true;not being big headed or owt, but yes that does kind of sum me up! I’m a Virgo as well which has similar traits to boot..) I’ve celebrated by enjoying a rather scrummy Chinese meal tonight, and I wish all of my readers a very prosperous year!
(Incidentally, if you’re wondering that’s quite an old picture above, but I had to share it again with you because I’m wearing the beautiful, timeless Tang Dynasty Gown by Nicky Ree…perfect, huh?)

I remember that dress 😉
I was born in ’83 which was the year of the pig, however as I was born in early January, I’m not sure if that still counts… And any jokes about pigs and I’ll spank ya 😉
