Wide Island: Happy Year of the Dog! Brings us news from the Isle of Japan. I’ve always wanted to visit Japan… more to see Disneyland Tokyo than anything else to be honest. However, I must admit, it’s Blogs like this that open my eyes to the wonders of the world that never traipsed across my grey matter previously.

I knew this year would be special… it is the Year of the Dog… so this WILL be my year!!!
