Little Wandering Wren …. chats!

Hello, I'm going offline for a while as I head off to Glastonbury , UK for the World's biggest and best Performing Arts Festival. Yes, Somehow your little Wren will be spending six nights unplugged, WOT no Wifi?  This five-star chick is off living in a tent and perhaps facing the biggest game of survivor since her days at Pony Club camp in the '70s. Quite how I went from trying to get tickets with the idea of glamping in a TiPi,  real beds, and the best linen, unlimited champagne, and fresh flowers and the like ...  to camping in a steward's off-site enclosure whilst volunteering for a Somerset charity (Who'd have thought they'd have me!), remains entirely down to a night at the movies... Bohemian Rock chick Wren here I come.  As a Glasto newbie I have already broken many of the rules: 1. O xfam is making second-hand fashion a Worthy Cause at Glastonbury Festival 2019. It’s a solution to the damage fast fashion is doing to our pla...

Sawasdee ka from Bangkok. How are you doing? All is good here in Thailand.  We have just had an amazing run of holidays.  No, not just me, silly but the whole Country.  We always have something to celebrate here living in the Land of Smiles ! Did you see the Global Economic Forum has suggested we should implement a four-day working week?   They say it will help save the planet and people will be happier? Well, Thailand has got this nailed. In the last two months we have had all these holidays: 6 Apr Sat Chakri Day 8 Apr Mon Chakri Day Holiday 13 Apr to 16 Apr Sat to Tue Songkran Festival 1 May Wed Labour Day * 6 May Mon Coronation of King Vajiralongkorn 9 May Thu Royal Ploughing Ceremony * 18 May Sat Visakha Bucha Day 20 May Mon Visakha Bucha Holiday 3 Jun Mon Her Majesty the Queen’s Birthday We're living the dream here with bountiful holidays. Anyone else wants to move to Thailand?! What do you think of the four-d...

In April 2019 I set myself the ambitious task to join the  Blogging from A -Z April Challenge . I choose a travel topic, with the idea of covering as many countries I could, whilst being on the road continuously myself. You can read the posts  here   This is what the last six weekends have looked like : Paris --> UK --> Songkran in Phuket --> Easter in Pattaya --> Fitcation in Bali -->  King Rama X Coronation in Bangkok --> Friend's birthday celebrations in Hoi An, Vietnam. I am sure one day, I will look back from the armchair of my nursing home and say to whoever will listen,  'yes darling, we used to travel a bit' If I look at the lead up to the A-Z Challenge I was also pretty busy trying to re-establish myself in my Thai life after the Summer in Australia. There was little time to prep for a month of posts. Well, that's my excuse to say it took me a while to finished and be awarded the A -...

Hello dear Blogging friends, I am sorry it's been so long.  I'm at the end of a massive fest of holidays and I'm ending on a high. At the top of the world no less. Just look at this picture of Mount Batur, Indonesia which I took earlier this morning. I hope wherever you are in the world, your sunrise was as beautiful! Dawn at Mount Batur, Bali Let me just start by sharing my office with you. Here it is overlooking the paddy fields of Bali, somewhere between Denpasar and Padang for those in the know. We are quite remote here and the hotel says don't blame them the internet is down, it's their provider!  So I had to go exploring the area and find some decent Internet cover. The dog is my new companion at the street bar I found with the Internet. Isn't this the most perfect office for the day? Who care's there is no WIFi at the resort. Little Wandering Wren office, Bali, Indonesia I've been doing a tour of paradise locations of the...
