In June 2018, I spent a wonderful 4 days in the north of Thailand, I went to Chiang Rai. I’d wanted to go to Chiang Rai for ages, not only to visit the White Temple, but also to see Phu Chi Fah (the Sea of Mist.) I later realised that I was going at the …
The year was 2015 and I’d been living in Bangkok for a few months. I used to love wandering around the city taking photos and writing about what I’d done. I was doing some research to find out if there were any castles in Thailand when I came across a map, produced by the European …
2018 is a distant memory and it’s over 1 year ago since I left my beloved Bangkok. So, it’s time for a little reminiscing. I hope you enjoy my tales of 2018! January I started the year in Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka with my friend, Mark. We had a great time partying, exploring and, the best …
When you think of Blackpool, it might conjure up images of a busy seaside resort with plenty of people enjoying their time there. Whether that’s at the Pleasure Beach or having fun in the amusement arcades – it’s a busy place. But, on a chilly May day last year, I found a more serene town …
Last May, I took a trip to Fleetwood with my sister and my niece. One day, we went to Lytham St Annes and we walked on the beach. As well as keeping my little 4 year old niece amused, we made it our mission to walk out to the sea. As we walk away from …
On a second trip to Rotterdam in August last year, here is what I got up to with Chris – in photos. I hope you enjoyed our shenanigans 🙂
Last year, I took the Eurostar from London St Pancras to Rotterdam Centraal. If you have never travelled by this mode of transport before, you should (when we can go further than our front doors again). It’s such a lovely way to travel. You have to check in around an hour before departure, no hanging …
I am very pleased to announce the publication of my second book: Flying Solo. A Woman on the Wings of Life When I went travelling, I sent emails home so my family and friends knew what I was doing. When I moved to Thailand, I turned those emails into a blog and that’s how TalkingThailand …
Back in Amsterdam again in August last year, Chris & I had a grand day out. Here’s what we did – in photos. I know we can’t go much further than our front doors at the moment, so I hope that these photo walks are a welcome change from all the doom and gloom. Stay …
See what a couple visits and a camera does for you! Rotterdam is definitely growing on me. In one of my favourite mediums, here is the result of a photo walk around the city of Rotterdam in black & white. I hope you enjoyed the photo walk around Rotterdam. Is there a place that you …
When in Valencia, a fabulous place to visit is the City of Arts and Sciences or Cuidad de las Artes y las Ciencias. One day, I had arranged to meet my friend, Mark, and as I walked along the dry Turia riverbed, suddenly, I saw these huge buildings looming up in front of me. If …
After leaving Bangkok on 18th December last year, I spent 10 days on the shores of Hikkaduwa on the beautiful island of Sri Lanka. Since first visiting Sri Lanka in 1993, this place has always been a favourite destination of mine. I just love the culture and the people and it’s one of the most …
