The last few months have vanished, gone in the blink of an
eye and it’s time to move on. The
monsoon rains of Thailand I certainly won’t miss, but the people and the place
I will, especially Nongnoo. The book; ‘Poor Circulation Ashes
to Boonville’ is now finished and should be available in the UK within the
next couple of weeks. I’ve got to thank so many people for making it possible, all of whom get a mention in the Book, but
a special ‘Thank You’ goes to my sister-in-law Torrey for having the
ability to polish the detritus that I called a manuscript.
I’ll be flying to California at the end of April and
spending a few months with the family in Boonville. It’ll be good to be back
there, hanging out with friends and hopefully lending a helping hand with the final
stages of the house build and with the animals around the farm. My nephew and niece Sam and Willow
are growing up quickly, and after six months away it’ll be amazing to see how
much they’ve grown. I’ve bought them clothes and shoes that I’m taking with me,
but I’m useless at shopping for myself never mind others, especially buying clothes for kids who always seem to be taller and broader than you remember, so I hope they’ll
forgive my taste in fashion and sense of size. I'm also missing my daughter Hannah who I haven't seen for far too long. She'll be leaving college and starting university at the end of the summer and I want to be back in England around that time. Birth to University in the blink of an eye! If I ever needed one, it's a reminder of how old I really am and a motivator to get the things done that I need to get done while there's still enough time and mobility to do them.
In Boonville I’ll be writing/finishing/polishing the second
book; ‘Poor Circulation Homeward Bound’
and hope to have it finished and available before Christmas 2013. Writing and
rewriting the first book so many times has taught me some valuable lessons, one
of which should be never to promise a delivery date, but hopefully the peace
and quiet of Boonville will help me to concentrate and get this one out on
time.
Thanks for following, and internet permitting, I'll be back here soon.
