Monday, July 12, 2010. Take a Deep Breath! This is the part of the journey I have been blocking out of my mind because there are so many things which could go wrong. My motto is to plan well but have a back up plan if things go badly wrong! Our plan was to travel by train from Bangkok to Arunyapatta, cross the border to Poipet and then take a bus to Siem Reap. What is the problem you say? I have no ideas when they arrive but we were the first to buy our tickets and they were all there in place. The city ...

Thursday, March 25, 2010. Last Saturday there was a special Saturday opening of a cake shop and training centre called Bloom run by one of the parents at school.

Bloom is like no other cake shop cafe, the cakes are a work of art! Which cake shall we have? Phoebe with her friends Zoe and Karla). Apparently it w...

What is the same what is different and what is the same? It is strange having Christmas when it is 32 degrees outside in a country where christmas is not really celebrated.there are the obligitary tacky tinsel up in some shops and a few santas but it is essentially an imported holiday. So what was Christmas to us? Searching high and ...

Cambodia through our eyes: February 2012
http://cambodiathroughoureyes.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 11, 2012. The other day I was thinking about how many things are different in my life and the life of my family because we are living in Cambodia. Some of them I like and embrace others I find hard to adjust to but they are part of my life now and so I know I need to live with them. So in no particular order. My children travel to school in a. 2 My whole family study and work at the same school, HOPE Internationl school. 3 Three of my children think that sour mango is a delicious snack.

Sunday, October 16, 2011. This weekend is one I hope I don't forget for a a long time. It started on Friday when we were inundated with food and clothes donated. we spent the whole day organising it into food parcels. Everyone pitched in to help. Food bags we had put together. We were struggling to fit all the food and people in! 31 people came from the HOPE community. This was students, teachers (Khmer and expat) parents, friends and family. I was overwhelmed by how many people wanted to help. When we a...

Saturday, November 12, 2011. Lets Take a Walk. This morning we walked down to the local market and bought freshly cooked doughnuts, iced milo and delicious ripe mangoes. Andrew, Becci and Simon joined myself and the "early birds" Lucia and Jamie for a 5min stroll down the road to PC Market. I thought you might like to take the stroll with us. We walk down to the end of this road with the Wat on our right (you can see the decorative wall). This picture is taken from the market entrance. We went back home ...

Thursday, September 9, 2010. I must be slightly crazy, but those who know me know this already. After a full day at work, leaving the house at 6:30 am I come home with the children and some of their friends at 2:30. I always assume that at least one thing will not be quite right. Today it was the wrong herb and no chicken! We finally got there and I was able to teacher her how to make it. After this at 5:30pm I have a language lesson for an hour! Here is what I have to learn to read! Views (last 30 days).

Sunday, February 6, 2011. One thing I really love about Cambodia is all the people I meet from different countries. I find out so much about their life and culture. Tonight we were invited to a Hangi by the lovely Hasseltine family. There house is right on the river front quite a way out of town. All the children had gathered in their house while the adults were across the road. I could not go with out my facepaints! Katy one of the NZ teachers also joined in doing some of the arm tatoos. Taking off the ...

Wednesday, August 17, 2011. It was good to be back . On 13th June we arrived back in England for the first time in nearly two years. We spent a wonderful 7 weeks seeing family, friends and doing lots of other fun stuff. Before our great holiday became too much of a distant memory, we remembered what where our fave things about our trip back 'home' . Day out on the Severn Valley Railway. Playing on scooters (lent by a very kind friend). Trip to the Yorvik Musem (in York). Severn Valley Railway and Museam.
