GOODBYE THAILAND HELLO BRIGHTON


GOODBYE THAILAND HELLO BRIGHTON
Ok I admit it I miss writing the blog -  we have been home just over three weeks and I still have my walk albeit along westcliff beach and the weather has been ok but it has seemed weird just coming back and returning to everyday life.  Four months is a long time but we loved every minute and feel blessed that we had such an amazing trip.  However as I mentioned earlier I miss the blog so every now and then I shall bore you with my life and travels in Monte our camper van - named today as it is written on his side, well it actually says Monte Carlo but that seemed a bit over the top. Obviously I would rather have had a Lola like our friends but I know in my heart that Monte is a boy - I could cover him in flower decals if Jim would allow it but he would still look like a male and he does a good job, he is comfy he drives like a top car and he rarely causes trouble.
Today is Montes first day out after the winter and all has gone very welll, we had a good journey to Brighton and the weather has been beautiful, a lazy afternoon in the sunshine pre dinner G&T's and a delicious bar-b-que.







Slept for a wonderful 10 hours and woke up to glorious sunshine, breakfast outside and then caught the bus into Brighton and spent the afternoon on the beach. Jim had a swim but somebody has to look after the bags so of course I volunteered - it actually wasn't as cold as he thought it would be, but nether the less I gave it a miss.

It's 6o'clock and the sun is still shining looking forward to spaghetti bologneise and a bottle of red.

GOODBYE THAILAND


GOODBYE THAILAND
Up at 6am for our last walk along our beautiful beach-because of the heat later in the day there are already lots of adults and children in the water and building sand castles I have never seen this many  people so early. We have a dip in the sea and a leisurely breakfast - Jim chooses the Croque Monsieur and I have the chicken curry roti both of which are delicious, I have serious concerns about my ability to start cooking regularly again soon,  after being spoilt for the last 4 months.
I am sad to leave this beautiful place and wonderful staff and we promise to come back soon. We travel again by VIP bus to Bangkok Airport and then travel,to Hong Kong on the first leg of our journey and by midnight we are on our way to Heathrow.
After some sleeps and a couple of films we are touching down at Heathrow and in no time at all we are heading home with Ben who picked us up.
As Jim put his key in the door we had a huge surprise from our family all waiting to see us and in no time at all I feel like we haven't been away, 

AS BUG'S BUNNY WOULD SAY "THAT'S ALL FOLKS"
