New on Gwulo: 2023, week 26

Submitted by David on

Gwulo's weekly newsletter takes a summer break: I'm heading to the UK on Monday to spend time with my family, coming back to Hong Kong in mid-August.

I won't be sending out any newsletters while I'm away, but if you'd like to keep up with additions to the site you're welcome to bookmark the What's new and Recent photos pages, and check them out from time to time. Or if you prefer the 'investigate an old photo' style of newsletter, you'll find lots of old Hong Kong photos and their stories in my books, available from local bookstores, Amazon UK*, and Amazon US* (*affiliate links).
