It has probably been clear for some time now that we haven't been updating any more.
This has actually been for a reason, rather than simple laziness or forgetfulness.
The last substantial post we made was after our trip to Burma.
And it was there, in a slightly dingy hotel in Mandalay that we learned of our soon to be expanded family.
Since then, the general Internet has not seemed like the right place to be announcing and discussing the major changes in our lives, so we have reverted to email and even more traditional forms of communication.
The thought is that a new little person deserves the right to privacy and since it is certainly the most exciting thing to happen to us, it's difficult to think / write about anything else.
So after three years recording our time in Beijing, we'll now bow out.
As I've noted before, most visitors to the blog know us in person anyway and therefore you can all expect updates by email, from Flickr and via Facebook if we've got anything generic to say.
Anyone interested in China-related stuff could take a look at my twitter feed @AlwaysNearWalls
Thanks for the interest - who knows, there might be a resurrection when we next move somewhere new.
