The act of writing about myself and my experiences is a very new thing for me so bear with it, I can only get better! (not 100% if bear/bare..?) After months upon months of planning, the day has finally arrived where we pack up and jet off to Bangkok. The packing has gone awfully, as I am so indecisive about the necessary items, the everyday items and the items I want to take but really don't need. The act of packing has yet to be done, but my bed is covered in all the stuff I'm travelling with, having limped round the house all day locating these items. 20kg seemed more than enough for my weight limit, but now I am not so sure looking at the sheer amount of all the gear.

Sunday August 24,2014 I awoke on Sunday to a nice but cloudy day in Ipswich today! I helped Sally with things around the house and also asked Sheri if I could help with dinner but she was all set. I cleaned up the B&B folks breakfast and then did some laundry and I also started to clean up my room and pack a little. After lunch, I walked around the gardens and PFH taking pictures. Sally helped me to learn to do a felt project and it came out really nicely! Cool! A blue Felt cover for my cell phone with a drawstring! Then after 3 pm, Sally and I drove to town to pick up the new "WOOFER" named Clara and she was very nice to meet. Clara was going to be at PFH for ... read more

Wednesday August 20,2014 I awoke early today at PFH, in order to get the 9:09 train from Ipswich to London. Sheri kindly dropped me off at the train station but the train was delayed by 15 minutes, hence getting late into London Liverpool Street Station. Managed to get to Waterloo Street Station early than expected, so I called Philippa and I arrived at Petersfield a half an hour earlier which turned out to be fine. Philippa and I drove to their house: Lower Chapters and I greeted my cousin Hermione and her two children Jake and Amelie. We had a lovely lunch and then afterwards headed to Portsmouth Harbor to do some errands. The kids are in a reading group that they have a list to check off, unique ways and places to read a book. ... read more

Monday August 18,2014 Hello everybody! Today was a very low-key and relaxing day! Did errands and went into the town of Ipswich again, Laundry,taking walks,library and eating a "TOASTIE " for lunch. TOASTIE in England is similar to grilled cheese and tomato sandwich. Dropped a video off at library and checked a few things. Just walked around town , looking into different cool stores for a few hours. I came back to PFH around 5:15 pm and it was still nice weather-wise. I finished with the laundry,played a little tennis with Millie and helped around the house. Around 7:45, came back inside to watch a bit of TV an then it was time time for dinner. Our "woofer" from South Korea made us dinner! She made vegetables,rice and poached egg! It was yummy! Also, we had ... read more
