This is for my mother, who is currently at my step sisters place, waiting for me to upload this video, so Hello Mum!

This video of Leon was taken when he was a couple of months old, just after bath time, at our old place on Koh Phangan.

I just found these pictures on my mobile phone, I had forgotten I had taken them, they are from our Thailand tour earlier this year. The picture of Leon on the left, was taken somewhere in the mountains on the way to Khon Khaen, we had just driven through a hill tribe village, and stopped to buy him that rather colourful hat he is wearing!

We visited many places in Thailand and I will write several blog posts about the trip over the coming week.

The second big thing to happen since my last update, is that we have moved away from Koh Phangan. We now live in Surin, which is a town in the Isaan province of Thailand. We did… Continue reading →
