It seems that the artistic talent evident in many of our children is also in the genes of our 2 new boys.

Over the last couple of days little Zak has been starting work on his own mural. First drawing out his design on paper and then moving on to lay out chalk outlines on his wall. His brother Tai was asked to resist the temptation to help too much so we could see exactly what Zak was capable of. Tai  gave some direction but all the actual art work was Zaks as far as I know. Can’t wait to see the finished paint job.

If anyone has spare odds and ends of outdoor emulsion that they have no use for please consider dropping by:)

May got a little extra pocket money for the day at school and we gave her her card on her return from school.

 It had ended up that I was on my own to do the present buying at the market in Banthi in the morning. May had requested clothes and I was not at all sure what to buy an 11 year old Thai girl. After a light dinner I presented her with the two shirts I had bought and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw how happy she was with them.

She rushed off to put her favourite on, before we had the small party at around 7pm. Birthday cake, mango and sticky rice and lots more kanom and pop.

Lots of smiles and happiness that make this work worth it.
