Garden Snakes

The photo is of either a Paradise Snake or a Golden Tree Snake, both of which are so-called flying snakes. It is totally harmless, but still quite a shock when you find one wrapped around your front door handle first thing in the morning.

Beach Road Pattaya in Amazing Thailand

Beach Road in Pattaya is the busiest road in the city of Pattaya as far as tourists, pedestrians and vehicles are concerned. It is also the most scenic because Beach Road runs literally the width of the pavement from the golden sand of the clean beach and only metres from the sparkling blue sea.

Village Food in Thailand

Takeaway Thai village food is usually provided by more mature ladies, who often have no other means of support. These people know their onions... the food is excellent, but it is meant for general consumption.

Our Garden Fish Pond

I am hoping that our new garden fish pond will be an area of cool relaxation, tranquillity and delight for us, which will be great for writing. I could do with that as I have not written much over the last few years due a lack of stability in my life and a disappointing drop in sales, which could be the result of a culture shift brought on by Covid 19.

Thai Fruit Curry

I started to eat curry when I moved to Portsmouth as a student in the Seventies. In those days, nearly all 'curry restaurants' were Indian, or so we thought. I usually ate a moderately hot curry, but sometimes, if it was on the menu, I would choose the Malaysian curry, which was milder and contained pineapple chunks and slices of banana. I liked it with paratha or chapatis.
