The Gallery...Drinks

When looking for pictures for this weeks gallery theme I was struck by how heavily featured in my photo stream drinks really are. Now before you all go yelling "lush" and demanding I seek help its not just the boozy ones! Coffee is also up there on the most often snapped list..mother of 3 yadda yadda...essential to ones sanity.

I'm cold. #bangkok #hotcoffee

In my defence on the subject of the boozy drinks, I live in Bangkok. End of. We are just totally spoilt with my favourite type of inebriant, cocktails. Silly ones served in coconuts, classy ones that knock you on your arse after a few sips (see the Quince drinks list for details!) all cocktail life is here. Oh and it's cheaper than back in London..yup another excuse.

The amazing Vespers at Quince

Fermented pork fried with crispy garlic, chilli and peanuts..Mmm think that will go down nicely with my Margarita!

Another temptation here in Thailand is that you will always find something ridiculously morish and naughty to eat with your chosen tipple. Thai chicken wings are worse than crack.

Happy Friday #bangkok #bkkfatty #wtfbangkok

The Gallery: Sunshine

Simple pleasures of a sunny day, Pimms and big shades on a small baby. Never gets old.

Go and take a look at the gallery over at Sticky Fingers for more sunshine, who knows when we will see it again!

The Gallery: Water

In it, under it, next to it, on it..that is where I am at my best. Happy times for me have always been associated with water. I have worked on yachts, I dive, I love to swim and whenever I get the chance I choose to live close to the sea or at the very least a river. Being back in South East London is pretty tough as it's still a bit far from the Thames for my liking! I am hoping Dodo will feel the same and have had her in the sea at every possible opportunity.

Start em' young

Play time with the sharks

Thailand is so connected with water and that is probably one of the reasons I like it so much. Bangkok with it's great muddy brown Chao Phraya river and the coast line and islands with fantastic beaches and world class dive sites. Not forgetting the most important festival in Thai culture, Songkran. The best excuse for a huge 3 day long water fight. Very handy that it falls around the time of my birthday in April, so I never have to plan a party for myself again! Just step out the door armed with the biggest water pistol I can get my hands on and prepare to get soaked. The heat has really started to pick up by April so a good drenching is just what everyone needs..add crazy music, beer and loads of white slimy chalk that the friendly locals love to smear all over everyone (not at all pervy if you were wondering!) and you end up feeling totally childish and having brilliant fun. Yeah I guess you can tell how much I love it! I could go on but I will spare you..This year I tried to introduce Dodo to the whole Songkran festival experience..didn't quiet go as planned..Will let the pictures do the talking!
