Year of The Pig
— This is Chinese New Year and that was the Leeds Mecca.”
Sunday 18th January was Chinese New Year. This year, it’s the Year Of The Pig and children born under this sign will be happy and honest. The Pig is also J’s birth year.
We marked the occasion by visiting the Lucky Dragon restaurant in Leeds with my parents and my brother.
Our car was in the garage for routine repairs, so we were provided with a courtesy car: this huge Jeep Cherokee, a 2.4 litre monster with an automatic gearbox.
