A warm welcome back home...

We got back home last Wednesday, after a brief visa stop in Bangkok.  It feels good to be able to unpack our suitcases properly after 4 months of travelling.  There have been some significant changes while we've been away - of which more soon - but some things don't change. 

Chloe and Jacob happy to be reunited with old toys!
Within two hours of getting home, we had our first power cut - thankfully only a short one! We've been gradually re-adjusting to overnight lows of 27 degrees C, which are starting to seem more manageable now.  More positively, we've been warmly welcomed by our neighbours and friends.  Abigail and Jacob have had a great start to their new school year, and are enjoying catching up with their friends too.

And I don't think I've had a single conversation yet with one of my Karen friends which hasn't involved the Olympics - despite Thailand's disappointing performance in London, many people followed the Games closely.  I'm not sure that they really understood much of the Opening Ceremony though!
