It is not often that I would do a post on a hotel we have stayed at, but this one was so quirky that it deserves a post. When we first arrived, we couldn’t find reception since there was so much clutter. When we were taken to our rooms, we weaved our way around clutter. […]
Mountain Creek Golf Club
We left Korat this morning and travelled to Pak Chong. This is only a 1hour 40 minute drive so we stopped at Mountain Creek Golf Club on the way. The people we met at Korat Golf Club weren’t very impressed with this golf course, but their main complaint was the beer prices, so we weren’t […]
Suwan Golf Club
We arrived in Bangkok around 11:30pm so didn’t do much except go to bed. Up early the next morning for breakfast and to catch up with Deb and Neil (our NSW friends that Bruce spent a year with in British Columbia in 1991). After breakfast we went off to Suwan Golf Club. This was about […]
Mission Hills GC Last day in Phuket
After a pleasant late breakfast we left for golf at Mission Hills for 11am game. It was expected to rain all day and we were the last group to hit off. We were met by a young trainee learning English and she showed us where to go, took us to the locker room and escorted […]
Unexpected Abu Dhabi Stopover
On our last day in Athens, our plane was an hour late departing, which wasn’t good given we only had a two hour stopover planned. When we arrived in Abu Dhabi we thought they would race us to the next gate, instead they took us off to the side, gave us new boarding passes for […]
Joondallup Golf Resort – 2023
Last year Bruce went to his first AGM of a company that he owns shares in. Wesfarmers holds theirs in Perth and he had such a good time that this year he convinced Rosie to come along. Jim and Anne thought it would be fun too, so Jim bought some shares so they could also […]
New E-Bikes
Rosie and I are going to start getting a bit more exercise while also travelling around the local sites. Rosie got herself a Gazelle Grenoble c7 e-bike and Bruce bought a Kalkhoff Endeavour. We did a test run into town yesterday and cruised up and down the hill at Basildene. Both bikes have pedal assist […]
2008 December Family Update
In February we applied to go on exchange to Canada (to get away from Bruce’s Principal at the High School) and had a possible link with Greg and Judy very early in the piece. It took a few nerve wracking months for this to be confirmed but eventually all was in place and we started […]
2007 December Family Update
The football season came to an end in September. Liam started off well but became disinterested towards the end. He still enjoyed running around with his friends, but training wasn’t his forte. Megan thoroughly enjoyed her coaching and I enjoyed being team manager. Adam was our umpire. Liam’s teacher enjoyed big projects which got the […]
2007 December – Merv and Robyn’s Wedding
At the end of the school year we had the pleasure of being asked to witness Merv and Robyn’s marriage (19th November, 2007). It was a very private affair, with a lovely beach ceremony consisting of just the four of us and Laurissa the celebrant. It was just perfect, with us being bathed in bright […]
