[Kev B]

Great trip and  photos Tom.

How's that for a roundabout?

There’s only a few magic roundabouts Tom in the country
One at the bottom of the hill down to Hemel from the m1
One on the outskirts of Colchester
They’re great to get through
You just need eyes 👀 in your bum 😂

My friend first visited Thailand 4? Years ago
He’s hooked on it now and has been many -20? Times 2-3-4 weeks at a time
He’s in his last year at work ,he was planning to go out there this January 2020 but COVID stopped him
He’s got a nice girlfriend who is now back in Isaan where he’s paid £30 k for a house to be built near ubonratachani - unsure of spelling
Although very rural his plans are to live quietly there with occasional visits to a beach resort  Pattaya - jontiyem? Where he’s made friends with a load of retired ex pats
He absolutely swears by the place and is going out later this year he says

Love hearing your updates cos good luck

I was reminded yesterday of your wonderful but bitter-sweet story about the beautiful black horse that you bought as a belly and its sad end.

I remember Zelley telling me her last lingering memory of him was the feathered legs sticking out of the back of the lorry as it drove away.

I felt something similar as my trusty steed of the last twenty years was unceremoniously stuck on the back of the scrapyards truck and carted off.

It was a Legend in its own lifetime.

OMG Ralph! Has the Honda finally gone?

I'm guessing the pandemic played a major part in it's demise?

Gypsy Water is an ode to the beauty of Romani culture, its unique customs, intimate beliefs and distinguished way of living. The scent wakens a dream of a colorful lifestyle made of innate nomadism. Woody notes of pine needle and sandalwood associated to intense amber and fresh citrus evoke the fever of gypsy nights spent in the forest.

Not pandemic-related Tom - it just got to the point where I couldn't justify spending the money for repairs any more.

A well, may rust in peace.

Wow!

I might send Priti Patel a bottle.

If Matthew has his way, I wonder who will be next?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9583091/Liberal-commentator-Matthew-Parris-calls-blanket-ban-Travellers.html

On the more positive side there are people like this barrister laying into him https://barristerblogger.com/2021/05/20/the-evil-of-priti-patels-anti-gypsy-legislation/

On the negative side - a lot of the comments are... well, exactly as you might expect.

Not that I believe or even think this, but imagine if someone told him that his way of life (Having a male partner) was totally against the reason for being? Bollocks I know but it's as good as his argument.

What most people don't understand is those Travellers are not breaking the law. The authorities, despite instructions to the contrary, have failed to provide sites for generations.
The Travellers have nowhere else to go so the law says that they can not be moved immediately.

I wonder if Matthew would like them to move into houses next to his?

Which one? It seems he has at least two.   I have two houses, but these people aren't welcome to live in a car park? 

The Daily Mail doesn't seem to understand liberal either, surely bigoted commentator would work better here? 

[RED-DOG]

Some internet arguments really amuse me, especially those like the one that develops here.
