"Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life" – Michael Palin
I'm sat here looking at an empty screen... I don't know what to write. My mind is just at a complete blank right now. It's been a really busy week at work, I've been exhausted by the time I've gotten home and my head is full of all sorts of thoughts, worries, plans and lists...everything… Continue reading A Post About Nothing!
I'm a self-confessed technophobe. I try, but I don't really understand technology and am impatient if it doesn't work. I never have the most up to date kit...in fact, I probably don't even have the kit in the first place! The old days!

I was already in two minds whether to attend the alms ceremony in Luang Prabang. Tak Bat is definitely seen as one of the 'must do' activities whilst you are there. There is no doubt that it is one of the most iconic images of this city. Every morning the monks from the many temples… Continue reading To Alms Or Not To Alms?

... A LAZY BANK HOLIDAY!! It’s another busy August bank holiday weekend in the UK!
