  So 2025 has only just begun and already Tokyo Fox is looking back!! There have been exactly ten new posts on here each and every month for over a decade but last year saw it reduced to eight a ..read more

It was always going to be impossible to equal the feeling of having my eldest sister and her family with us as was the case last Christmas. From one extreme to the other as this year my wife was at ..read more

The number of times I’ve now visited Hiroshima is something I’ve long lost count of but I do know that this was actually our first trip in the summer time for seven years! With my wife working that day in ..read more
