About Me

CURRENT MISSION

www.traintriptothailandblog.WordPress.com describes our journey so far...

ABOUT ME

Since youngest child left home and my dog died,I decided it was time to do the traveling I didn't do when I was younger. To get it out of my system or mid life crisis? Whatever.
So, to start with it's going to be local surface transport from UK to Thailand, with said youngest son, to visit his brother and family in their new home....

PHILOSOPHY

It's nice to be nice, live and let live, it has to be believed to be seen, honesty is the best policy, love is all you need, live simply that others may simply live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My children born. Scuba diving. Waking up every morning. Not forgetting my lines on stage. where does it all begin and end..?

Teach, Learn, Share
