Thailand, an Engaging Tale

Posted on September 14, 2009 by

[for the really big news, feel free to scroll down, but if you have the time, why not enjoy the holiday with me?]

Several weeks back (and what feels like many moons ago), Claire and I did something pretty special. For the first time ever, we went on a summer holiday together. Generally, I’m more of a winter holiday kinda guy, and I had somehow managed to keep Claire on this path for 3.5 years. But sadly I gave in and we were jetting off (sorry planet) to Thailand.
