We’re a couple in our 30's who met working for the same company in Chelmsford, Essex in the UK. Bronia is a Canadian/British hippychick hailing from Vancouver who loves the outdoors.

Wow!
THanks a million, I felt like I was here. We have just had 5 Thai visitors for a week, so your descriptions were perfect. Enjoy, and see you in Sept. Hopefully not after the 19th, am going to the UK.
