30 Days

OK, so it seems some people have said that I am starting to sound like a ‘winging pom’ and it is time I headed home. As it is now only 30 days to go before we leave here are 30 things that I will miss about living here:


1. Weymouth Beach in the morning
2. Europe on your door step
3. The changing seasons
4. Waking up to the noise of cows mooing
5. An open fire at home
6. Spring and the splash of daffodils across the landscape
7. Going on a ramble
8. Pints of good English beer
9. Looking forward to each weekend with a new adventure
10. Supporting and guiding colleagues at work
11. Friendly road drivers
12. A good Cornish pasty
13. A traditional English pub
14. Watching the squirrel in our back garden
15. Morning mist over the fields
16. Having lunch while watching the fishing boats in Weymouth harbour
17. Watching the kids dress up for Halloween
18. History, from Windsor Castle to Stonehenge
19. Stunning walks along the Jurassic coast
20. The feeling that you could leave your door unlocked at night
21. Little Britain
22. Cheap flights (greenhouse gas vandal)
23. Being close to the beach
24. Adelaide said her school
25. A big back yard
26. Seeing the kids in scarf’s, woolly hats, gloves and coats in winter
27. No dangerous spiders, mosquitoes and flies
28. No traffic (despite what the locals think)
29. New friends
30. …………..


Bugger – cant think of any more – it is a pitty I don’t have 29 days to go….

Margaritas at the Sky Bar perched on the edge of the 63rd floor of our favourite lebua hotel Bangkok!! Leave our apartment on 58th floor and take elevator to 64th floor, descend down a curved marble and glass staircase to the circular bar below. A white/gold full moon shines overhead, firworks light up the sky, boats of every shape and colour criscrossing the river and snaking lines of red and white car lights as far as the eye can see. Yes, we are still having a fantastic time and already planning another trip next year!!!!! The photos with the tigers are fantastic. Chris had a ball and bought out half of BKK. Much love to all.
