I am in a small village just outside Cardiff visiting old friends and still thinking about going to Thailand to teach. I’m actually more or less snowed in at the moment, or at least the prospect of a twenty-five minute walk to the station is keeping me indoors.

Sarah and I are going for a Thai meal tonight, all this thinking about Thailand has got me reminiscing about Foxy Tours and Thailand was where it all started.

I have actually spent the last two days running around Cardiff with my ex “boyfriend” from the uni days. It was very nice to know that after all the fuss and drama that i went through over him, I can still have a good time with him as a friend and I feel I know him better now than I ever did then. We went to see Blood Diamond at the cinema last night and I thought it was brilliant. It has certainly boosted my feeling that there is more to the world than the UK.
