Welcome, welcome.
This is my little corner of the internet, my living room if you will - and this post is my welcome mat. It's festive and red (even though my blog is blue - the joys of imagination) because Christmas is just around the corner.
Come in and sit on the comfy looking chair over there. It's the perfect size for curling up in (and it's even wide enough to accommodate a second person if you like snuggling a deux).
On that little gueridon table you'll find whatever you fancy drinking. Dream big. Not just tea but bergamot or camomile, Darjeeling or Lapsang Souchon (my personal favourite, and rather disappointingly it's hard to find in Hong Kong. Who'd have thought it!). I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't help you there, but go ahead and imagine yourself the most exotic coffee you can think of. The most indulgent hot chocolate. Mini marshmallows, whipped cream and any other sort of sprinkles are highly encouraged.
Or what about mulled wine or port (another favourite of mine). Gin and Tonic? Champagne? Even something as kitsch as Baileys? I promise won't tell anyone - no one's cool here, certainly not me.
The fire's crackling, there's your favourite music on (I'm far too considerate a host to impose my musical tastes on you), so we're all ready to start!
[Disclaimer - because of the time of year I might not get around to writing another post until the new year. But I wanted to welcome you all the same. And if I don't see you before - Merry Christmas!]
