THANK YOU to everyone for a fantastic time back in England - I was made to feel special starting right at the beginning at the airport when met by my friends with balloons, flowers and a coat ( the difference in temperatures that day was 92 degrees in Cambodia and 54 in England - but actually it was a most wonderful sensation to be cold!!!)

My transport whilst I was in England was a Mazda MX5 once again thank you SO much Paul x The weather was perfect the whole of the time (it rained maybe 5 days!) and I really enjoyed driving around in the convertible. I had forgotten it was spring and it was such a lovely surprise to wake up the next day (I arrived in the evening) to see the spring flowers - my favourite season.

What did I enjoy about my visit besides seeing everyone, lots of wonderful food and more wine than I am used to (have become a lightweight - wine is plentiful over here but doesn't taste the same in the heat).

the cold - the quietness - wrapping a duvet around me (here I sleep with no covering even a sheet is too hot) - roast dinner (thanks Tricia) - clean streets

England hasn't got it right by any means but there is much to be grateful for

Well here I am back in Cambodia for another year!

lots of love to you all
