November ....
Just a few 'catch up' photo's and stories to share with you. You'll see a great shot of Ian and Jessica with respective parents on our trip to Hong Kong in late October as we went to say farewell and 'bon voyage' to our wonderful friends Colin and Fiona. Ian will next see Jessica in England (probably) though who knows given all the miles they have both travelled?!

We also see Ian in his Loy Kratong outfit. This annual moon festival is one of Thailand's most colourful, with candle lights and fireworks being a major feature of the event, which was held in early November.

We also see a picture of Ian with his buddy, Pera as they play together on the slide. Ian is never short of a play date and he really enjoys his time with Pera whenever they get the chance to hang.

In the mountains ....

Ian went to the mountains last weekend, one night away was with Dad's Department on the annual Away Day (always lots of fun!). We were in Thailand's Khao Yai National Park, which is also a favourite of Mom & Dad's. The air was so cool, and the skies clear. We stayed at two great resorts which allowed for Ian to have some fun. Jumping in the pool -or more like having Dad throwing him -was one of Ian's highlights (it's the simple things that so often count, eh?! Ian also got to hang out with Dad'd Assistant, Pae who you see Ian with in our photo's.
