Here we are beginning 'South Fork' Chiang Mai. House of 220 square metres!!

Christmas Eve
daddy has been to BKK. Traffic jams, Fires and Ferraris on sale in the Malls!
We, on the other hand, have been dancing again.

E's school, is, of course a bit confused about how to deal with these princesses. However some suitable catholic extras have been provided for photo opportunities:

It is COLD...jackets in the morning!
We need not worry about fog...well except where the FOREX market is concerned. Thais managed to wipe 20% off the stock market in a day trying to stem the appreciation of the Baht. Decision reversed by teatime..damage done. FT not impressed.Thai Finance Minister: No-one to blame...of course not.I believe 10% is a crash...

So we sit like Romans inspecting entrails to see if there are any auguries for the future. Saw one 'Securities' outfit predicting 25B to the dollar (35 today down from 40 a few months ago)...Now that would rid Thailand of Americans!

So Christmas and New Year, 10 days in Samui, 10 days in Bali and the building of the South Fork Ranch in Chiang Mai..my we shall be busy!

You will ask: Where have you been?
Here!

Songkhran castles



We went to the hot seaside





I was 4



We went home to the seaside



And saw Granny and Grandpa



Gwynedd Council built The Great Wall of China in My Garden





My bears sleep in the Fennel



I went to School



More Crabs!



My seaside gang



Daddy found his picture

















Byron's book was published!









#














Bonfires

























Mali and I went to school in our nightdresses

















Here we are back among the orchids


















Christmas again



















And back to school..again!

So! We are in Wales...again
The sea rolls in and out. The garden is teeming with fledglings including some 24 baby pheasants which have been sitting on K's shoulders!
Plus ca change
Except the new road looks like the Great Wall and is probably viewable fom the moon, too.
