Bangkok Skywatch


Don't you think you look at the sky 
more often when you are on holiday?

Is it that you have more time
or just that skies elsewhere look more interesting?

This week we've been in Thailand
admiring a myriad of different skies...


The day starts of well with blue skies and fluffy white clouds
as we speed along the Chao Phraya river 
without a care in the world...


But later on... 
Take a gander at these storm clouds!
Taken from our Bangkok hotel balcony. 
Phwoah!

We know it's the rainy season 
but we're not looking forward to this rain!


The storm passes,
happily moving off without a drop of rain on us.
Thank you Dear Buddha!
We head up to one of the many rooftop bars
for pre dinner drinks...
This is the life!


A sundowner cocktail and a glorious sunset,
go hand in hand on a perfect holiday.
We have the time to stop, linger and admire...

Bangkok has some impressive sunsets
and some rather nice cocktail bars...!


In case you were wondering 
what it's like in Thailand at the moment 
given the military coup
my previous post Beautiful Bangkok covers this.
It's fine!

Linking with Skywatch Friday
where people from all over the world post great photographs 
of the sky in their part of the world. 

Have a great weekend!

Autumn Spice and everything nice!

Hey, what ever happened to Summer? I hope yours was lovely, mine was pretty amazing! It feels like my whole year has whizzed past in a flash, how about yours?  I've had a year of saying "yes" to everything offered to me. It has been exciting to put it out to the Universe to see where I should be. We feel very fortunate to be able to do this in my husband's early years of retirement. I'm just back in Asia from the US. I never feel my year is quite right without seeing British daffodils in the Spring and a pumpkin and the leaves turning in Autumn. Yay, the world nailed it this year, thank you.  Read on to find out what happened when my ultimate yes occurred on a trip to Montana to meet Ruth, an IG friend. I know Bloggers will smile and not be at all concerned, we've been meeting up around the globe for years, haven't we...?!  But let's just say some of my family and friends were, you're doing what?! But first some Little Wren updates! France I had so...

Taipei Adventures, naked - moi?!

I have to tell you all about my little adventure in Taipei recently, naked at the Hot Springs! I can't believe that I have never been to Taiwan, I certainly urge you all to go if you ever get the chance. For me, I loved the combination of influences of two countries I enjoy.  Street views from Downtown Taipei The Chinese left some interesting historical influences and stunning architecture, which combined with a Japanese legacy and efficiency in transportation, makes Taipei an easy place to visit, with so much to see. Nowadays, Taiwan has emerged as a thoroughly modern city, I loved my time there. It felt exotic and safe until I had to get my kit off. It was a spur of the moment decisions to join my husband on his Taiwanese business trip, prompted by the delay in the arrival of our furniture into Bangkok, and ‘no room at the inn’ where we had been staying. Given that I’m commitment and fancy-free in Thailand; there’s no job, no kids, no dog and absolutely nothing in ...

L'eau de toilette....

Our meals at The Serai were a huge part of the enjoyment of our stay. Lunch & dinners are marathon five course events...We tried not to over-order but even when we cut back to try to pace ourselves, Chef would send out little treats for us to try... If one person expressed an interest in a particular dish, we all got it.... Whenever someone ordered something we all got it.... ...although sometimes it took a quite a few attempts... 'Can you do oats, no milk?' .... 'Can you do ginger, hot water and some lemon, no milk?' We have an eclectic group of tastes from Miss ' Extra spicy ' to Miss ' Not too spicy ' through to Miss ' Vegetarian, no dairy ' , myself as ' Miss Recovering, extra careful and just wants soup. ...and even Miss India herself who every now and again just orders chips... So we can't leave without saying a huge thank you to the Chef for the best food that we have had so far.... We hear conflicting reports about whether th...
