When we were thinking up a name for our website the Silk Road became ‘The Yellow Brick Road’, because we are travelling to Oz…and then when we were finally deciding if we could actually try and do this we all share our personal reasons for going – Rosa wanted to feel braver in the world , Theo to feel global compassion and I wanted both of those (why wouldn’t I?) and to have the chance to write, think, and to use my mind.

So clearly we are on our way to Oz along the yellow brick Silk Road, the lion, the tin man and the scarecrow. If anyone see’s Dorothy please tell her she needs to get her Chinese visa sorted out…
