Life On Our Farm

Izzie

IIzzie was born to Bongo and Lucy.

She hadn't really been unwell but more frail over the past 2 months and I had to pick her up onto her hind legs as she couldn't manage it herself but I was able to take her for short, slow walks around the farm and she still had an enormous appetite.
 
She enjoyed very good health in her life and never got upset, growled or showed her teeth; she had the most wonderful temperament. She never wore a collar around her neck and could roam anywhere she liked on the farm but she especially loved to by driven around in the sidecar!
She was over 12 years old which is a good age for a Labrador.
She had her evening meal, went to sleep but never woke-up.
 
... all that said we are going to miss her terribly and the farm will not be quite the same without her. We are all very, very upset but we give thanks for having such a beautiful dog, a wonderful friend and constant companion and to have shared so many very happy memories.
 
Rest easy our dearest Izzie, you will always be in our hearts.

There's really nothing better to start the day than a cup of farm-grown, roasted coffee to stimulate the senses and prepare you for the day ahead...and that's not even mentioning the aromaaaaaa!!

Makha Bucha Day

Temples in Thailand organize "Wian Thian' which is a candlelight procession on the evening of
Makha Bucha
and commemorates the meeting of Buddha and his first 1,200 disciples.
...and so it was at our ancient temple, Wat Bua Nak,  which sits on a hill adjacent to the farm.
An evening of meditation and Buddhist sermons, serenity and thanksgiving.

A very Thai and very wonderful occassion!

Lili's a big girl now!

I have returned from visiting my parents  in central Thailand and it was wonderful to meet Lilly again (besides my folks!). She has grown into the most beautiful girl and I am sure that she remembered me! She is totally spoilt by my Mom with a daily brush and fresh fish every evening! My Mom loves Lily very much and at times I even got jealous for the lack of attention which was always showered upon Lily first!

Khun Gowri and Khun Markus, Tharaa & Thejas, K. Gowri’s Mom and her brothers all donated towards giving The School for Life home for underprivileged youngsters, which we at the farm also support, kilos of cooking rice and lots of Soya milk. I took them there yesterday and they were greatly received. We have to thank Khun Markus’s family for all their kindness and compassion to help these kids who have so little.
Thank you very, very much!

I haven’t seen my parents for 10 months so I’m going down to central Thailand soon to visit them and to see Lili who I found in a cardboard box at the side of the road and who my Mom adopted! I am sure Lili has grown a lot by now but I wonder if she will still remember me?

Nothing much like a winter breakfast to start the day! Fresh air, a slight chill and  a splendid view make that breakfast just that little bit special!
