The Pod

2018-10-13T14:28:27+08:00

Back Yard Birds

2018-09-25T18:14:01+08:00

2018-09-24T14:43:11+08:00

2017-10-20T10:02:40+08:00

I was working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, on the female side of a university. The young ladies had set up stalls in the foyer to raise some money for the troubled folks in

As the days slide past

2017-09-13T11:42:22+08:00

Durian – the Happy Fruit

2017-09-13T11:43:14+08:00

People either love or hate Durian fruit. (Opinions tend to vary depending on whether they have actually tasted it, getting the fruit past their nose and into their mouth.) A lot of people absolutely hate that

Places we’ve been: Goreme (Turkey)

2017-09-13T12:09:36+08:00

What is there to see in Goreme? For one thing there are lots of "Fairy Chimneys" - these strangely-eroded stone towers.  Sometimes you can wander through "Love Valley" because there are so many of these seemingly

Places we’ve been: Brixham

2017-09-13T12:12:02+08:00

Brixham is an incredibly picturesque little town in SW Britain. We were living in Torquay, Devon, and Brixham was a short ways further down past Paignton. Great place to go for some fish and chips
