Come over to my travel blog for another post on Thailand HERE
No idea what these are, cakes I think. Im keeping travel posts on my other blog as need somewhere to add video and more pics and keep tidy! Infact I have last year's trips to add. Blogger is a great place to store pics free until i find a better place for safe, free storage. Ideas are welcome.
Hi folks, I've decided to keep my travel posts separate on my old Travel blog HERE as I have quiet a bit to say... so if you would like to see more about Thailand. Come on over to my travel blog MAGIC CARPET TRAVELS! My first post is Bangkok.
I joined Vinted and sold some of my Anokhi dresses (which I bought years ago on EBay so have actually made a profit!). I've been shopping on there too, a copper bangle - I love copper. When I Googled this one I found it was made by a British designer of the 60s and 70s, Moda of Malta, specialising in hand beaten copper jewellery.
I had a lovely week of lunches with sons ... Lunch made at my place by younger son and his girlfriend, a really nice afternoon together chatting and chilling out.... then on Friday I went on a train trip to London to see my older son, we took a bus over to Spoons in Wimbledon and visited the Buddhist Temple, wandered the very peaceful grounds and asked a monk to do a prayer and blessing for us (and for a friend who is currently building her house in Sri Lanka) and we came away relaxed and refreshed.

On the subject of my Sri Lanka friend I am sharing a little of her house build which s in the Sri Lankan hills where it is cool and green (she spends half the year there, half in the UK. She is rebuilding her family home. The workmen prepared the area before starting work with ceremonial food offerings and smudging (smoke) from coconut leaf woven lanterns around the four corners of the plot, to keep away any lurking evil spirits, an astrologer determines the exact date work can start. Some pics/video below that she sent me.
Swimming is becoming a regular event now I'm retired and I am now up to 50 lengths per visit. I have made a few friends at the pool and there's usually a nice chat in the changing rooms after :)
I got a mixed pack of seeds from 'Chiltern's at a reduced price. they have given a lovely selection, radish, beetroot, carrot, dill, a variety of lettuce and tomatoes - should be fun seeing what pops up... last years pack gave me this beautiful.mallow in the mix.
I enjoyed reading The Bones of You, A really good thriller and first book by a new writer, Debbie Howells Found in a charity shop.
