Day 33 - We need some English Food!! and another dissaster avoided

Last night it came to light that Immy's Teddy had not made it to Bangkok!. A frantic search through all the bags, and a thorough assessment of when teddy was last seen was followed by tears from all, as it seemed that this prized possession of Immy's from the first days of her life was lost forever.

Steph emailed the hotels, homestays and apartments that we have stayed at over the last 5 weeks, in the small chance that teddy had been picked up and handed in.

This morning in my inbox was a picture from Betel Garden, our accommodation in Hoi An, Central Vietnam:

Is this your teddy

 
And a very Happy Immy!



Thanks to Mum's comment yesterday, informing us of the Sausages, mash and onion gravy they were going to enjoy, we are all salivating at the throught of some English Grub!

Steph has done a good job of messing with all our heads this week, telling us it was actually the day after it was, so The Kids and I woke this morning thinking it was Sunday, having believed that it was saturday all day yesterday. We think this error has been in our heads for about 5 days now.

So, with this error in our minds, I spent a frantic half hour desperately trying to find an English pub in Bangkok that had a Sunday Carvery, and after locating 2 excellent options, the Black Swan and the Chequers, it suddenly occured to me that if this sausage and mash dinner was being enjoyed on Friday, then today must be Saturday!

Gutted!

But by the time everyone is waking in blighty this morning, I can assure you, as eggs are eggs, we will be tucking into some form of English delight.... Bring on the Steak and Ale Pie!!

The Next Post will definately be a picture of what we find!!... watch this space... we are on a major mission!!

  1. What a lovely pic of Ted what super people to do that .
    The sausages looked very good you didn't have onion though .
    Emmys face having taken a bite of the hot one was great, well caught James
    I just love this iPad . The Skype was so clear this morning it was great .
    I can ask it questions by speaking to it and it speaks back with the answer, no need to bother Simon with silly questions my iPad never thinks me silly
    I am not surprised you are not taking any more night trains I remember traveling on the most expensive train journey in the world , it was so uncomfortable and very noisy
    Lots of love to you all Gandmar xxx
