Singha
We are down at the bottom right by Chalong Bay (Above the 'a' in bay) on the Panwa Cape, the drive from the airport took about 45 mins to give you an idea.
Wowee, the memories are well and truely jogged, I'll have a fried chicken with thai curry please.. followed by fried tiger prawns and basil leaves!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the girls are loving the sailing.. who needs diet coke when ther is Singha and Chang!!
That is SOME haircut, Charlie! Hope you didn't pay more than you do at home. although it will last a long time. Did Amy cry when she saw you?
ReplyDeleteWhere is Stravaigin? Sitting in a cold, dark, wet marina.
How did the sailing exam go? The knots certainly look well, but I am hoping the girls will be a whizz at the clove hitch for when I forget it...
The lethal haircut cost me a massive 100 Baht about 2 quid......poor chap did not understand a word of English and my explanation was probably not good enough! In fact it definitely was not good enough.....he just went for it straight away and once the damage was done, there was nothing I could do. Exam results are going to be handed out when the girls start the next course on Tuesday! Hopefully they will progress into Toppers.
ReplyDeleteWe are longing to hear the exam results .... Is Mrs Cameron actually on this term out trip or is she at home with the baubles. Pictures please of Mrs C. We are LOVING this blog - it brightens up our day when we come in from the cold and the rain and the ice and the wood lorries. Can I print off 'the haircut' and take it to Aberfeldy - it would brighten his day too... Annie x
ReplyDeleteGreat haircut Charlesie. Brilliantr to see you all looking so well! Lot of love from us all - A, T, K, M & O xoxox
