Field, Forest and Family
By Tessa Bunney on 6 December 2010Recently updated my website with a few images from my recent trip to China – click here to see some more.
The weather prior to and during my travels was unseasonably wet which made getting to some of the villages a bit tricky and the paths in and around the villages themselves were liquid mud! Luckily we only managed to get actually stuck once!
