I moved to China a few weeks ago and am having a lot of problems trying to make WordPress work here, but I hope to have resolved those issues soon! I currently only have limited access to the site via my smartphone. I had been using Insta to keep in touch with other sewers, but as of last night the service is unavailable in mainland China (most likely linked to events in Honk Kong) and it’s unclear how permanent that will be. We will be sorting out our internet connection in the coming fortnight so I hope to be back up and running on both sites again soon.

Hope you get back online soon. We take all these things for granted here.
Thanks Maeve! Yes, it’s really odd not to be able even to quickly google something. And it’s frustrating not to be able to join in conversations on the blogs I read – I can only post comments through WordPress! We’ll have a solution soon though, hopefully!
