Life in England

Autumn UK

Ahh those sultry Saigon evenings. A warm breeze, cheap beer, good food. Sitting outside at a cafe or bar ANY DAY OF THE YEAR! Incredible. I am so jealous! I am already planning trips to Mui Ne, Phu Quoc and Koh Samet for next summer onwards. For now I will post some pics of Autumn in the UK from around my local area.

The train station:

The spiders are out in full force. Every garden is full of dewey webs.

This is what freaks you out after three and a half years in Saigon. WHERE ARE ALL THE PEOPLE! No noise, no people. Just the clock ticking as you sit your kitchen. The tapping of your fingernails on the table. A pigeon flapping out of a bush. This is Saturday - you don’t want to know what Sunday looks like!

Now this is what Chi and I really appreciate about our time back in the UK. This park is just a few minutes from my house. Fresh air, a beautiful stroll, a vast area of green. Playing fields serving the rugby club in the winter and the cricket club in the summer, and an 18 hole wooded golf course criss-crossed with walking opportunities. Singularly better than anything Saigon has to offer (Dam Sen, Thanh Da….).

Ahh, the pregnant one.
