Dear Annie I hope you’re well.

Dear Annie I hope you’re well. I’ve got a great place for you to visit when you get some time off work. I went to Shanghai in China a fortnight ago and it was just perfect. It only takes about 3 hours from where you live. We stayed in a little boutique hotel called the Dragon Inn. It wasn’t the biggest hotel, or the most expensive, but I really loved the personal service and the family who run it were so hospitable. There are loads of things to do, but my favorite has to be the Bund. You can stroll along there in the evening and admire the view or grab a coffee and watch the world go by. I also have to mention the delicious cuisine. You really should try the dim sum if you go there; it was the best I’ve ever had. Anyway, let me know if you have any questions about your trip. Best wishes Chris
