The cold season has arrived, mornings are fresh and typically here in Thailand & especially in the north, people take breaks to go camping and book a few nights at a ‘Home Stay’ which in effect is a mini resort or place to stay you can call your home for a night.
Having worked so hard [...]
Working Monday to Friday makes me a very dull girl and I am so thankful to have 2 people in my life that are able to accept the time & love I can give them and make me so happy with the love they pour upon me.
After visiting Mae Kuang Dam with John on a [...]
As I write this short post before I rush off to another busy day at the shelter, I am in tears.
I just saw a friends website and the photo below.
At last John’s hard work is showing that he has so much to offer and can deliver it too.
Establishing The Stratton ABC Foundation was risky in [...]
Sometimes people just can’t accept reality let alone discuss the issues they have surrounding it.
I have the ability to write here, because it is my personal diary. If it’s left open to anyone to read, then anyone can… read it.
But if I were to close it away, keep it hidden from sight, then what would [...]
Well the 100 days passed very quickly, the family still goes on, Mum has found her balance at last and our home seems to have come to a steady routine once again.
But we do miss Dad very much and last weekend, the family converged on Wat Jed Yod one more time for a ceremony to [...]
It just came home, that feeling of commitment being out of step with others around me.
But when I write about it here, it seems deeper than just the prospect of earning money from an employer and keeping the mind focused on a daily schedule.
Whenever I do something, I do it full on, to excess sometimes, [...]
As I predicted, having put all the long hours in during the first 2 weeks of work, this last 5 days have been so much easier as the shelter is now running a lot more shipshape!
From the beginning of the month, the number of dogs on meds has dropped from 32, 27 now down to [...]
After leaving the UK 5 & half years ago and moving to Thailand, it took a little time to adjust but I certainly lost many of the British ways I had been brought up with and on a daily basis became aware of my longevity increasing due to the ability to live more free of [...]
After losing it 2 years ago, my drive to work with dogs full time is back.
Previously I burnt out due to so many reasons, least of them was a desire to help & being frustrated that progress wasn’t being made. Well it is just that which has knocked my sense back into place, after being [...]
I was taken aback last month when I was asked to photograph Jenny’s 35 Birthday and I must say I messed up big time on a high percentage of shots I think, the videos were able to capture the spirit of the dances but stills miss the magic of the movement & atmosphere.
This month, during [...]
With work happening every day, kh Gan & his crew are slogging on to make the front of our house look so completely different, it’s transformed the front so much, we smile each time we look at it.
This house should have had this built a long time ago. It’s a new house.
Yesterday we ordered the [...]
This last couple of days have seen a massive amount of concrete being delivered into the molds to make the foundation of the new car port / terrace.
But today things started to take shape as the old balcony was cut to give access to steps down to the terrace and you could see the expanse [...]
Yes this is a real first. Art on the wall in our home on the ground floor. Never in the last 5 years have we achieved being able to hang something on a wall downstairs as there was never enough wall space.
With the doors & windows changed, the layout has loads of space for photos, [...]
In my mind I’m a novice rider, I get out and find tracks and besides enjoying them, I write about them too. I have now been riding for nearly 2 years and to my absolute amazement, some ‘hard core’ riders asked me to show them where I have ridden recently as they liked the writeup [...]
The rains haven’t been as much this year as last but the farmers at the rear are unperturbed, they have done what they did last year & brought in a tractor for 2 days to plow the whole area.
This tractor driver had his daughter with him and he enjoyed stopping for a pose for the [...]

Thanks for stopping by and please be sure to check back again soon.
