Tuesday 28th May
Today we went to see the Panda preservation Base which is not too far from here
We were not too sure what to expect but the place is very lovely. Not many people here but plenty of pandas. Mummy bears, Daddy bears and baby bears. Actually we did not see the daddy bears, I just made that up for convenience. As we were there quite early in the morning
the bears were all quite active by Panda standards. They were very lovely as you might expect and the place does some great work. Last year they had 12 babies which we all know is quite an achievement. I told Karen how the very possibility of Pandas even mating makes national news at home and she was very amused. She certainly does not "get" us much of the time.
Emily if you are reading this I have got your panda for you but they would not let me bring one of the real ones. Sorry.
Next we paid an unscheduled visit to a silk museum where a brilliant guide showed us round the museum. She showed us a double sided silk screen of four panels which had taken three women ten years to make! Wonderful
Oddly enough I was tempted to a little red silk which you can all admire when I come home. Don't worry it's a scarf!
