Hi All just in case anyone has missed me in the last 3 and half weeks I am back from Thailand, what a wonderful place, but seeing my Son and granddaughters was the best ever, loads of tears yesterday but good times will cherish forever.

So dry all your tears as Smithy is here to help LOL

Hi Cruggs

Went to Pattaya in Thailand, the trouble was in Bangkok and I stayed a good 1 and a half hours drive away, it was great.

And yes it was great to see the family

J&J not laid a finger on Neg Nick is he on the missing list again, will keep an eye out for him probably laying low somewhere.

Hatti thanks for those kind words.

Bill There was so many lovely place to see Pattaya was out of this world, and also the Pattaya Crocodile Farm where you get to feed the crocs as you hang bits of chicken on the end of a pole over the fence oh my god when they leap up for it you have to be quick as it makes you jump back. Also the Temples are amazing so tranquil. If I win the lottery I will go back.

Hi Smithy! Good to read you're back in one piece. Did you happen to have the time to visit a jail where the Thai government keeps - for years and years - locals and foreigners who dared to say that the king is an "....."?

Big deal you're back in town. You're also patronising, what makes you think you're better than, 'these little Turkish women'?



'where are all these little turkish ladies when you want one,..'

HI

dy1259

I am not the least bit patronising, what I was saying was ! that now that I have been away I have got behind with a few jobs and I had a little local woman that occasionally helps me but I cant get hold of her, there was no nastiness in what I said,

Also I have a few friends on the forum who are glad I'm back if your not there is nothing I can say about that.

Mackerel Hi, I booked through Ankara Travel, and flew by Turkish Airlines which were superb no delays, meals on flights free, I flew to Istanbul, they see to your luggage when you walk through to "In transit" then 1 hour later went Direct to Bangkok where my Son collected me. In total £800.

Denise leave your Number, as I have lost it please and I will be in touch, yes loved the necklace.

Thanks

Lilz/Dee/Redtom for your kind messages, I think there will always be someone to knock you down, even though I was on a high yesterday, but missing the family I left behind, why is it they cant wait to jump on you and read things into your messages.

Many thanks again

Nah she's definately not here - I have her on my facebook and would have noticed - think she's in Thialand at the moment visiting her son & family.



If you ever look in the forum Sheila (which I'm sure you do!) please put them all straight!

We had an e-mail from Sheila earlier this week. She is currently in Thailand visiting her son and grandchildren. She will be there for a few more weeks and will then be returning to the UK (where she went in January after leaving the TRNC).



I hope this clears up the matter of "Where Are You Smithy)

HELLO ALL

Thanks for letting me know Maggie

I am in Thailand with my Son and grandchildren for 6 weeks so I still have 4 weeks left in this blazing heat,and then I will be going back to the UK where I now live,

But you can be sure that I will be coming over to the TRNC in the summer to see all my lovely friends

I have not been on the forum in a couple of weeks, so thought I would get up early and check my mail

So Love to you all, and no Lee you were not drunk or dreamt it I did leave.

Take care and someone give Liz a big hug from me.

Sheila (smithy) xx
