A time of change

Life is never easy no matter where we decide to lay our hat, but sometimes it can be out and out difficult. After a period back in the UK earning the pennies to keep me here, my landlord has decided he wants the house back. After 2 and a half happy years in the wilderness, well it is according to most folk out here, who seem to have forgotten how long they used to commute to work in their respective land, i have to move.
When i first arrived in Chiang Mai apart from a condo a friend arranged for me to see , the property i have been in since i arrived was the first of 3 i saw and fell in love with it. It is on the way to Mae Rim not a sexual activity, but a town about 15 km's from Chiang Mai, 15 minutes on a big bike, and the air is certainly cleaner and cooler than in the city, but finding an alternative has not been an easy affair and so far is not an accomplished task.
My current home has a very large garden which my 2 lovely dogs, Dang & Garrock appreciate and i have views of the mountains and forests. It has been host to many fabulous parties including my recent birthday party. The few distant neighbours may breath a sigh of relief at my departure, as the fireworks are always large and plentiful on party nights and i even had a BBQ built in to accommodate the demand for food. I will miss this peaceful place but times change and we have to move on. If anyone knows of something they feel may be suitable in the Chiang Mai area please get in touch. Might have to have a departure party!
