Laem Ka Beach

Last Sunday we went to a new place and might just go back next Sunday too! We always knew that there was a place called "Laem Ka" beach near Rawai (where we have been many times), but somehow we had neglected to find it. It's not well signposted and is certainly not busy - you can read more about it and see some photos on Jamie's Phuket : Laem Ka Beach.

But enough idle chit chat - here's some photos of us on the beach:

A few more photos

Here's some more, catching up with the last couple of months.

Once we get the broadband at home, blogging will be 24-7!

Recent Photos

Now we have the new computer at home (but still waiting for broadband), it's time to upload a pile of photos. It's November. Jamie has been working at "Dive The World" for a year and will get a free dive trip to Sipadan in the very near future. Jessica is 5 years and 4 months old, John is 1 year 10 months. The last couple of days I got the I-love-my-kids lump in the throat several times. John suddenly decided that he could say "daddy", "mummy" and "nanny". Tonight I was reading AA Milne to Jessica and felt very happy. Halfway down the stairs...

So, regular updates can be expected in the life of the 4 J's now that we are online at home. Here's a bunch of pics from the last 2 months....

Hold on to your hats...

Yes, we have the new computer at home! It was hard trying to fit in any free time at work for blogging. Things have been very busy the last couple of months.

So, there's a couple of months of "life" to catch up with here on the JJJJ Blog. We've recently had the Phuket Vegetarian Festival and also Loy Krathong - there's lots about these festivals on "Jamie's Phuket" (my main Phuket blog).

We have been getting out and about, still exploring Phuket, which never seems to lack new surprises. We found a lovely place a few weeks ago, a small temple/meditation centre with views over Cape Phromthep:

Right, it's midnight here, time for bed.

Anyone want to chat - get Skype! You can call Jamie for free - my name is "Monkscuba".
