Restored faith

The view from my new home, i hope it's not a heavy rain this year :)


My new home, it's just a basic wooden Thai house but sure i can make it home.

When things seem like they cannot get much worse isn't it funny how it can suddenly all start turning the other way, and not always in a direction or source we would expect it to come from.

Some of you may know not long after i arrived in Thailand i invested in a cooking school, and it got off to a reasonable start. Then whilst on a trip to England the rains came and washed it away, it was on the banks of the river! The teacher departed to work in the USA and finding a good teacher with a western sense of humour is not easy, so we closed.

The people who own the land have become very close friends and have several family houses on the land, one has become vacant and they have kindly offered it to me free of charge for as long as i need it. That in itself was kind enough to cheer me right up but then yesterday we spoke and they wanted to know when i wanted to move in. Once we had decided on a date i was told not to worry, the trucks to move would be organised and a pen built so i could bring the dogs as well. I had presumed they were going on a long holiday or worse still, to a new home.

So it's correct, you can only go so far down till the only option is up.
I love a happy ending, especially my own.
