In case you are not aware, 3rd Feb is the first day of the year for us Chinese people! It is a huge day, like Christmas in the western world. When I was young, my huge family (nearly 40 relatives on my father's side and 30 on my mum's side) would spend at least a week celebrating it. Similar to Christmas, it is all about being with family, eating, eating and eating while lying around and not doing much. Since I don't have any Chinese relatives in London, so I spent my first day of the Rabbit year doing things that cheer me the most - hand making things! Luckily, the sun was brightly out, so I quickly got my screen print kit ready to do some printing.
