Am sitting in my home in PEK checking the departure time of the BA flight leaving in an hour or so as my lovely 17 year old daughter will be on it. She's very nervous as she's never flown alone before, although we have reassured her there isn't anything to worry about & that she'll be fine.

So looking forward to having her stay with us for 10 days, we've missed her & her 2 older sisters very much, even though it's only 5 weeks since we left the UK. Got lots planned for her stay, including lots of girlie stuff
