Tai in Europe, post 6
Dorset Uk
I adore the English countryside; the rolling hills, the stone hedges in the fields and the lines of the land. I have become an obsessed observer of the beautiful stone houses, thatched roof cottages, Georgian and Pallidian mansions and Roman Ruins. it is so incredibly interesting to see how the English dwell in these incredibly old and special buildings beautifully kept and restored. And whilst the weather has been kind to us you can imagine the weather these
buildings have had to endure over the past many hundreds of years yet the still stand regally and thank God so well protected from the National Trust.
Each village on our drive from Dorset to Surry to the wonderful town of Bath gets cuter and cuter and as you slowly pass see the villagers get a little glimpse into there lives which feels to me a lot more community and interactive to suburban existence. Bath of course is sensational, a natural spa discovered by The Romans and made into a holy hang out for it's elite and then reinvented by the Georgians upper crust as the trendiest place to be and be seen in England.
It is essentially a architectural feat of father and son over two generations and a testament to town planning and keep things beautiful by a consistent plan and commitment to design, rather than architectural egos run wild.
Apart from the buildings the people have really done it for me, I guess it is the familiar cultural and language that allows you to chat away with witty remarks in ques, pubs and caves gaining just a much a smile with the many interesting accents as to the funny content.
In one cafe in Lymes Regis a little town on the Dorset coast 3 old girls sat next to us chatting about the just been royal wedding which has been a great crowd pleaser here. Conversation went from "Oh my God em hats, did you see the them, some awful contraptions"(accent intended).But wasn't he lovely the brides dad out on the mower the next day, that Victoria Beckham, you know what they say bout her - looks like she been chewing on wasps!" .Of course Andrew and I over hearing this are falling of our cafe chairs laughing - as I adore humor this has been a highlight of the tour along with their laughter with us.

Flood Relief - Alliance Homes
Alliance Homes set up a house for flood victims last Friday. Bandhini was happy to donate cushions and quilts, to help this lovely family out. Have a look at the transformation thanks to Alliance homes an everyone sponsoring this project.To give you a little background info, this house was completely submerged during the floods and the occupants, a single mother and her teenage daughter had to be rescued by boat. They received nothing from their insurance company and have had to use every possible resource just to get back their walls, flooring and electricity. Some of the only items able to be saved were a collection of wooden masks and artefacts from PNG belonging to their late husband / father who passed away 6 years ago after a long battle with cancer and a small selection of family photos. It was important that we created an interior concept to honour these special pieces.
Alliance homes will continue to do this work for as long as their resources permit. Please contact them directly if you would like to sponsor. http://www.alliancehomes.com.au/

AFTER
Thanks to Alliance homes and the generosity of all their sponsors- it helped them to change the lives of these two very special people.
